THIS unique new book mirrors the charms of the prettiest parks, 

 lawns and gardens of Europe and America. The picturesque, the natural and the gar- 

 denesque 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-coated 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. 



Although there are countless works of exhaustive precept on landscaping and gardening, 

 there have been none issued so rich with illustrations of example of lawn and garden creations, 

 so that some fruitful suggestions must be found adaptable to the environment of every home, 

 whether pretentious or modest. The range of the book is indicated by the following :

AN acknowledged authority for Farmers. Gives all the Latest Methods of Growing Grass, 

 Grain, Root Crops, Fruits, etc. ; and all about Stock, Farm Machinery, etc., etc. It is 

 written in a plain and easy-to-be-understood language. Everything pertaining to scien- 

 tific or abstruse subjects has been ignored, the information given being the most direct to make 

 the work of the farm pay. This is perhaps the first book of the kind ever written by two men 

 while actually engaged in the work which, to both, has been such a continued success — hence, 

 their advice is practical and doubly valuable.
