Will You Help Yourself 
to a better 
Garden Magazine.^ 
During the past year you have doubtless noticed a marked change in the 
kind of advertisements presented to you in the pages of The Garden 
Magazine. 
As the year rolled by, Garden Magazine carried announcements of practi- 
cally all the important merchants in the world of American horticulture, 
because they have confidence that our readers represent what is unques- 
tionably the most concentrated group of garden enthusiasts in this 
country. 
The Garden Magazine is credited with exerting a most powerful influence 
in American gardening interest. Its editorial columns endeavor to in- 
terpret to the layman and the advanced amateur current horticultural 
knowledge and discoveries in such a way as to stimulate keener interest 
and greater activity for better gardens. 
A magazine built as The Garden Magazine is — to satisfy the demand of 
its readers fo definite information on gardening, a magazine that assumes 
responsibility for the authoritativeness of the information given in its 
pages, must naturally have an exceptionally strong appeal with its readers 
when it comes to the advertising pages. 
In a way, the advertising section of The Garden Magazine may be lik- 
ened to a huge show window in Flowerland where all of the leading 
merchants display their wares. And, divided into departments, these 
pages are representative of the largest sort of a department store of gar- 
den goods. 
And Now We Want to Hear From You 
We want to know what you think of the advertising pages of The Garden 
Magazine, what criticism or suggestion you have to offer to make these 
pages of more service to yourself and people like you. 
From time to time we have made suggestions to our adv^ertisers as to how 
your interest may be gained for meritorious things. Many of our adver- 
tisers Ixave adopted these suggestions — some with gratifying results. We 
feel keenly the demand on the part of our readers for information and 
we intend that the advertising pages should be as informative and inter- 
esting as the text pages. 
In the exact proportion that we achieve that ideal do we utilize every 
opportunity to make The Garden Magazine all that it is expected to be. 
Will You Let Us Know: 
1. Do you find the advertising pages interesting every month in the 
year, or do they appeal only at a certain season? 
2. Do you look through the advertising pages intentionally each month 
or do you simply look to them when you are searching for some- 
thing? 
3. Do the adv’ertisements interest you? Is there sufficient variety? 
Do the advertisers give you sufficient information? 
4. .\re you satisfied with advertisements that simply offer catalogues, or 
would you be more interested in the kind that makes it possible for 
you to order at once direct from the advertisement? 
5. What suggestions occur to you for the improvement of its advertis- 
ing pages? Have you any criticism to offer as the advertisements 
are now written and arranged? 
Have j’ou any concrete suggestions to offer on any single advertisement in this or the last 
few issues of The Garden Magazine? Will you help us in this investigation and by 
helping us help yourself to a better magazine ? We will appreciate your cooperation.
