' 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

exhaustive precept on landscaping and gardening, there have been none issued so 
rich with illustrations ofevample. Init 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. 5
