misleading roundup ad

| In today's Toronto Star there's a full page ad from Scotts for Roundup, saying it's still available in Ontario for "noxious weed" killing. Then they label four images of what they call noxious weeds, and one of them is an image of Goldenrod which they have labeled Ragweed!!!!!
Please contact Scottscanadadotca to ask them to correct this gorss error. Imagine, a giant horticultural company telling people that Goldenrod is ragweed and should be killed!!! |

RE: misleading roundup ad

| There is one type of ragweed which, when in flower, looks very similar to a Goldenrod. That is perhaps what they have pictured. It is supposedly the type which produces the largest amount of pollen which causes such misery to allergy suferers. It's biological name is 'Ambrosia artemisiifolia' and if you Google 'Ambrosia artemisiifolia poisonous plant' you'll see a pic. |
