 WATER-LILY POND AT HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA 

 The boy on the right is also giving baby brother a "sail" 



esque as any in Holland, such as the 

 mountain gorges and blue-grass pastures 

 of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal from 

 Washington to Cumberland, or the his- 

 toric Mohawk Valley of the Erie Canal — 

 a desert with colors as heavenly as those 

 of the Sahara and, though devoid of pic- 

 turesque camels and Arabs, adorned with 

 the most extraordinary cacti and desert 

 vegetation on earth, and studded with 

 marvelous works of the human hand like 

 Salt Lake City ; great fresh- water lakes. 



on which you can take a voyage of one 

 thousand miles on ocean liners ; Alaska, 

 possessing the grandest glaciers in the 

 world outside the polar regions, fiords 

 more impressive than Norway's, and 

 mountains like Mt. McKinley, which 

 towers nearly one mile higher than the 

 loftiest peak in Europe. 



Any of our readers could spend an en- 

 tire lifetime seeing nature's masterpieces 

 within our boundaries and not reach the 

 end of the catalogue.
