 the names of people that "American Homes and Gardens" would interest. 

 This is gratifying to us not only because the co-operation of our subscribers is of 

 the greatest assistance to us in increasing the circulation of ' 'American Homes

 number of our friends who sent lists to us. Have you sent us a list? If not

American Estates and Gardens 



By BARR FERREE 



Large Quarto, 11x13$ Inches. 31*0 Pages. 275 Elustrations. Handsomely Bound. Gilt Top. Boxed. 



^ This is a sumptuously illustrated volume in which for the first time, 

 the subject of the more notable, great estates, houses and gardens in 

 America receive adequate treatment. An effort has been made to select 

 as great a variety as possible of the styles of architecture which have 

 been introduced into this country, as being specially adapted to the 

 peculiar conditions of American country life. 



<J Although the exteriors of some of the houses shown may be familiar to 

 a certain number of readers, few have had the privilege of a visit to their 

 interiors, and for that reason special attention has been given to reproduc- 

 tions of many of the sumptuous halls and rooms of the people of wealth, 

 and no better way can be obtained of learning how the favored few live. 



t§ The building of the great homes of America has necessarily involved 

 the development of their surrounding grounds and gardens ; the work of 

 the landscape gardener has rivaled, in its dignity and spacious beauty, that of the architect. If but little 

 is known of our great estates, still less is known of their gardens, of which, in spite of the comparatively 

 short period that has been given for their growth, we have some very noble instances among us, which 

 are illustrated and described in the present volume, tj! This work is printed on heavy plate paper and 

 contains 340 pages 10|xl3£ inches, enriched with 275 illustrations, of which eight are in duotone. It is 

 handsomely bound in green cloth, and stamped in black and gold, and, in addition to being the standard 

 work on notable houses and gardens in America, unquestionably forms a most attractive gift book. "
