HENDERSON’S NEW BOOK, 
ICTURESQUE + (;ARDENS” 
(Ornamental Gardening Illustrated), 
By CHARLES HENDERSON. 
160 pages, 934 x12 inches; 340 photographic illustrations ; price, $2.50, postpaid. 
(Or allowed free as premium. See page 3.) 
HIS unique new book mirrors the charms of the prettiest parks, lawns and 
gardens of Europe and America. The picturesque, the natural and 
the gardenesque adornments are reflected in over three hundred 
magnificent photographic illustrations from nature—many of these 
views are 5 x 7 inches, some larger, few smaller; they are grouped and printed 
in a most artistic manner on heavy-coated paper with just enough text matter to 
describe the view and name the plants, vines, trees and shrubs needed to produce 
a similar effect or design. 
There are in this country many lawns, gardens and grounds which the 
owners would improve and embellish, but they do not know exactly what they 
want, what would look well nor how to go about it, and it is for the benefit of 
such that we have prepared this book, for, although there are countless works of 
exhaustive precept on landscaping and gardening, there have been none issued so 
rich with illustrations of example. In it we force no particular styles or fashions, 
but describe and picture such a great variety of lawn and garden creations that 
some fruitful suggestions must be found adaptable to the environment of every 
home, whether pretentious or modest. 
Those who are fond of improving and embellishing their gardens, lawns and 
grounds, or who are planning new ones, will get many valuable ideas from this 
beautiful book.

“To say this is one of the most useful and beautiful 
works of the times on practical landscape gardening isno 
more than due to Mr. Henderson. There are several hun- 
dred illustrations of beauty spots in large and small gar- 
dens that afford admirable hints for those who would 
make beauty where plainness only ruled before.”

lam much pleased, having, from it, received many valu- 
able hints as to the beautifying ofa place ofseven acres, 
on which was some bog land that I did not know whatto 
do with. It is a handsome and valuable book, and one 
which I appreciate for its practicability.”
