A UNIQUE new book or album of illustrated suggestions for 

 beautifying home grounds, lawns, flower gardens, etc., 

 whether pretentious or modest. Tliere is but little text 

 matter — simply enough description with names of plants, trees, 

 vines, etc., to enable a similar effect, plan or design to be 

 produced. The illustrations are photographic reproductions 



taken from nature in the most beautiful gardens, lawns and parks in America and Europe. 

 There are about 200 of these views, many of them 5x7 inches, some larger, few smaller; 

 they are grouped and printed in a most artistic manner on heavy coated paper and handsomely 

 bound. 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 "Henderson's Picturesque 

 Gardens." The range of the book is indicated by the titles of some of the views :

AN acknowledged authority for Farmers. Gives all the Latest Methods of Growing Grass, 

 Grain, Root Crops, Fruits, etc. ; and all about Stock, Farm Machinery, etc., etc. It is written 

 in a plain and easy-to-be-understood language. Everything pertaining to scientific or ab- 

 struse subjects has been ignored, the information given being the most direct to make the work of 

 the farm, pay. This is perhaps the first book of the kind ever written by two men while actually 

 engaged in the work which, to both, has been such a continued success — hence, their advice is 

 practical and doubly valuable.
