HOMES - AND} we have caused a 
- GARDENS © . beautiful design to 
be prepared and 
expensive _ register 
dies cut so as to 
produce a most ar- 
tistic cover. The 
beautiful green 
cloth is most sub- 
stantial, and the 
book is sewn by 
hand to give the 
necessary strength for so heavy a volume. The 
decoration of the cover is unique. There are five 
colors of imported composition leaf and inks, artis- 
tically blended. It is hardly possible to give an 
idea of this beautiful cover. The top edges of the 
book are gilded. This volume makes an appro- 
priate present for any season of the year. Price, 
prepaid to any address in the United States o1 
Canada, is $3.50. 
@ For those who have the first six numbers we 
have prepared a limited number of cases whicl 
are identical with those used on the bound vol- 
umes. Any bookbinder can sew and case in the 
book for a moderate price. We send this case 
Strongly packed for $1.50.
