American Momes and Gardens covers a wide scope; it deals with 
house building from the design and 
construction of modest cottages on tiny lots to the building of mansions on large 
estates. All degrees of gardening, from laying out a landscape to the planting of a 
window-box, are dealt with. Pradtical questions of water supply, of sanitation, or 
of the arrangement of the kitchen receive equal treatment with draping of windows 
cr the arrangement of old china. 
American Momes and Wardens is beautifully printed. The year’ 
volume contains more than a thou- 
sand engravings, as full of detail and finish as actual photographs. They depict some 
of the old and historic mansions of America, and the most beautiful of gardens cr of 
natural scenery. The following list of a few of the principal practical articles which 
appear in American Homes and Gardens during 1908, will show the wide choice 
of subject:
