ADVEETISEES DO SAT 
That The American Garden Fails. 
Of course it does, because our readers are 
all progressive gardeners and well-to-tlo 
amateurs. The latest comments are these; 
I know that The Ameuicas Gardes pays. 
H. G. CORXEV, Cornwall-on-riudson, N. Y. 
We have received a good many orders from our 
adveitisement in Ameiuc.vs Gardes. One from 
the West Indies. Our advertisements hai-e paid 
ns well. W. W. Raavsos A Co., Boston, Jlass. 
We think The Ajiericas Gardes pays us well. 
Bowkek Fertilizer Co., Boston and Neiv York. 
The liberal patronage of our advertising 
columns, and the increase in size of the indi¬ 
vidual advertisements, is in itself a favor¬ 
able comment. Xo agricultural or horticul¬ 
tural journal in America has a larger or a 
better class of advertisements than this. 
None has a more intelligent and apprecia¬ 
tive circle of readers.
