"PICTURESQUE GARDENS" 



Ornamental 



Gardening 



Illustrated 



By CHARLES HENDERSON. 



Revised and Enlarged Edition, 108 pages ; 9% x 12 inches ; 340 photographic illustrations and 42 Bedding Designs. 



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 photo= 

 graphic illustrations from nature — many of these views are 5x7 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 

 f$» 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.
