Because of its high qualities, the Baldw in Piano was 

 awarded the Grand Prix at Paris in 1900; an honor 

 never before bestowed upon a piano made in America.

 Baldwin wholly in concert appearance.

 satisfaction of having the Piano that 



has been honored by two continents.

BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS 



IF your grounds are undeveloped and you recognize the need and value of improve- 

 ments, you wdl be wise to not plant a tree or a shrub until you have secured some 

 responsible advice on the proper method of procedure. Have an experienced designer 

 study the possibilities with you and determine the effects that should be produced, and 

 adopt a plan. Thus you will be enabled to regulate your expenditures to your conven- 

 ience, but always certain of being satisfied with the final result and with a positive sav- 

 ing in the end. Address our Landscape Department and prepare now for fall planting. 

 ^ We have 1 12 acres of New York City property devoted to the culture of fine 



nursery stock for immediate landscape effect.
