HENDERSON’S PICTURESQUE GARDENS. 
{2 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 about two 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 landscape and gardening, there have been none issued so rich with 
illustrations of example as in HENDERSON’S “PICTURESQUE GARDENS.” 
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. Price, postpaid, $2.50.
