" Picturesque Gardens" 



Ornamental Gardening in Europe, America 

 and Japan, illustrated and described in 



By CHARLES HENDERSON 



Popular Edition Heavy Levant Paper Cover: 168 pages 9x11 inches; 

 349 photographic illustrations. Price, $1.00 postpaid. 



This unique 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 5x7 inches, some larger, few smaller; they are grouped 

 and printed in a most artistic manner on heavy 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. 



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. 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. 

 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 this beautiful book. 



"Picturesque Gardens," is handsomely bound, and will grace any library table, even 

 as an album of the beautiful in gardens.
