: 168 pages 9x11 inches; 349 photographic illustrations. Price, $1.00 post paid. 



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 planinng new ones, will get many valuable ideas 

 from this beautiful book.
