Henderson's PlGiuresoue Gardens. 



This 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 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 tq 

 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 landscaping 

 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.

. THE PflN-f\MERlGf\N EXPOSITION . 



BUFFALO, N. Y., MAY TO NOV., J90J, 



Promises to be one of the finest Expositions of manufactures, 

 products, arts and sciences ever held. The architectural 

 beauties and colorings of the magnificent buildings will be 

 effectively brought out by the beautiful setting of park-like 

 surroundings, lawns, flower beds, shrubberies, trees and em- 

 bellishments. 



PETER HENDERSON & CO. will of course be well rep- 

 resented in these latter lines, having supplied many bulbs, 

 plants, seeds, etc. 



The Superiority of 



HOieiiJerson " Lawn Brass SeeB 



has already drawn forth favorable comment from the Managers of 

 the Exposition Grounds, as follows : 



"It affords me great pleasure to inform you that yovr 

 Ziawn Grass Seeil lias come up splendidly. It is the liesi seed 

 that 1 lia ve ever seen and by far superior to any other that 

 has been sown here." R. ULRlCH.Sup't Landscape Dep't. 

 Sept. 1st, itmo. 



And later Mr. Ulrich informs us : 



" The lawns from your seed are the fine.it on our grounds- 

 they are of that BE.WTIFVL RICH GREEN color'.'so much 

 darker and different fi-om any of the others, some of which 

 are of such a pale yellow green that I fear we shall have to 

 plow them up and resow with your seed."
