In the current issue of Gardens Illustrated I have a piece about 
hellebores. The copy says that H. orientalis 'is a tough perennial 
which is evergreen in Britain and the southern states of Texas, USA." 
Clearly this is nonsense, and I didn't write it, but there it is in 
the magazine. Texas wasn't even mentioned in my original copy, 
neither was this ludicrous phrase in the edtited version the magazine 
sent me - they just slipped it in at the last moment.

On British magazines the standard of subbing varies wildly, how is it 
on American magazines?
