The Inviolability of Our Advertising Columns 



SINCE the GARDENERS" CHRONICLE has come under control of it^- present ownership it has been its 

 policy not to knowingly accept any advertisements containing misrepresentations or that make of- 

 fers which the advertiser cannot live up to. 



In the February number of the GARDENERS' CHRONICLE an advertisement was published which 

 bore the names of a nmnber of men widely known in the field of horticulture as endorsers of a certain 

 product. Before the advertisement was accepted the advertiser was consulted as to whether he possessed 

 written testimonials of the parties and he replied in the affirmative. After the advertisement appeared the 

 publishers received the following communication: 



"In an advertif^ement in the February edition of the GARI)Ei\ERS' CHRONICLE, under tlie 

 head of Mehosine. I notice my name is published among the list of testimonials. I beg to fay 

 that I never subscribed to this, never tried Melrosine, and never gave sanction as an endorser of 

 its merits. J. Otto Thilow." 



The GARDENERS' CHRONICLE on receipt of this conimunicalion called on the advertiser to correct 

 the statement in his advertisement and directs the attention of its readers to this correction and to Mr. 

 Maurice Fuld's apology to Mr. J. Otto Thilow appearing elsewhere in the advertising columns of this 

 issue, as it feels obligated to inform its subscribers of and protect them against any misrepresentations it 

 may uncover in its columns. 



The GARDENERS' CHRONICLE warns those concerns who, taking advantage of the opportunities 

 created by the growing interest in gardening in this country, are invading the field of horticulture and 

 conducting business on the theory that there is a new dupe born every minute that they evade the ad- 

 vertising columns of the GARDENERS' CHRONICLE, for any imposition against its readers will be 

 promptly and fearlessly exposed.
