MERICAN ESTATES AND GARDENS is a sumptuously 

 illustrated volume in which, for the first time, the subjed of the 

 more notable great estates, houses, and gardens in America 

 receives adequate treatment. It is a volume of 350 pages, 

 enriched with 275 illustrations, of which eight are in duotone. 

 An effort has been made to seled: as great a variety as possible of the styles 

 of architecfture which have been introduced into this country as being spe- 

 cially adapted to the peculiar conditions of American country life. 

 Q Although the exteriors of some of the houses shown in this work may be 

 familiar to a certain number of readers, few have had the privilege of a 

 visit to their interiors, and, for that reason, special attention has been given to 

 reproducflions of many of the sumptuous halls and rooms of people of wealth, 

 and no better way can be obtained of learning how the favored few live. 

 Q The illustrations are in nearly all cases made from original photographs 

 and are beautifully printed on double coated paper. The book is attrad:- 

 ively bound. This book will prove one of the -K/rTTviivT r 

 most valuable books for the home, and will fill \_} | j >J V^V^, 

 the wants of those who desire to purchase SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN OFFICE 

 a luxurious book on our American houses. 361 BKOADWAY, NEW YORK

 fuel because of their poor construction. 

 This compels forcing the apparatus to 

 obtain sufficient heat and necessitates 

 many repairs, Savingof fuelandfreedom 

 from repairs is true heating economy.

of Low Pressure 



Steam and Hot Water Heating 



are always under control and are eco- 

 nomiLal because they require but little 

 fuel and attention, distribute every 

 particle of heat evenly throughout the 

 house and require no repairs. They 

 are constructed from best materials in 

 one of the largest heating foundries in 

 the world. There are over 300 styles 

 and sizes to meet every requirement 

 and nearly 200,000 in use, thousands
