I used to get several gardening magazines each month. I no longer subscribe 
to any. I glance through several when I get to a large newsstand and seldom 
see anything of interest, certainly not anything with any depth. Many limit 
their stories to a few hundred words, which is hardly enough to cover any 
topic or plant thoroughly. They are targeted to people who leaf through 
rather than read. Bathroom fodder.

A friend recently gave me a copy of Horticulture, which once was a fairly 
decent garden mag. What particularly surprised me was not just the 
shallowness but the poor quality of the writing.
