Ornamental Gardening Illustrated. 
160 pages, 93x12 inches; 340 photographic illustrations; price, $2.00 post-paid. 
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 prinéed 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. 
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.
