How to Lay out Suburban Home Grounds, by H. J. Kellaway. London : 
Chapman & Hall, 134 pages, 8s. 6d. net. This book is written by an 
American Landscape Architect, and its object is to show how greatly 
American homesteads may be improved in appearance by the efforts 
of a ‘Landscape Architect.’ There is no doubt that our cousins across 
the Pond frequently require the efforts of some such person to beautify 
their dwellings, and the illustrations which Mr. Kellaway gives clearly 
indicate the success of his methods, though of course from the nature of 
the vegetation, etc., many of his recommendations would not apply in 
this country.
