 plate paper, and containing 43 designs, with floor 

 plans of practical, tasteful and comfortable country 

 homes, ranging in cost from $1,000 to $5,000 com-

 embodying the best efforts of various architects 

 throughout the country. Every one of the houses 

 has already been built, and all of the illustrations are 

 half-tone engravings, made direct from photographs 

 of the completed structures, taken specially by the 

 Scientific American artists. In many cases two 

 perspective views of the same house are shown. 

 Several illustrations of inexpensive stables are also 

 included among the designs. 



^The location of the dwellings, the cost, owners' and architects' 

 names and addresses are given, together with a description of the 

 dwelling, thus enabling, if desired, a personal inspection of the 

 dwelling or direct correspondence with the architect or the owner.
