HOW TO LAY OUT SUBURBAN HOME GROUNDS 
By 
Herbert J. Keixaway 
John Wiley & Sons, New York 
This is a primer designed, I think, for use among our young and 
ardent home builders — that army of enthusiasts who buy a lot, say an 
acre, or even half that lordly space, and wish to develop on it a garden, 
an orchard and a house! 
This little book is practical even to warning the purchaser to in- 
quire, before buying, whether the garbage man stops by the would-be 
back door. It also urges intelligent study of landscape art, with 
beauty and usefulness as a desired result. It is not very polished 
writing, but it is earnest in upholding an ideal and should be a help 
toward improving our quick growing suburbs by educating those who 
are building them. Let us see that the libraries in our various cities 
place a copy on their shelves.

In speaking of the Exhibition of Garden Pastels by William Pen- 
hallow Henderson, recently held at the Roullier Art Galleries in Chi- 
cago, Miss Lena McCauley wrote in the Chicago Evening Post, "there 
are twenty-five lyrics in color of famous gardens in estates along the 
north shore, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff and Lake Geneva in Wisconsin." 
And it is precisely the lyrical note that is struck by these pastels. No 
happier medium could be found for translating or perpetuating those 
perfect moments which all garden lovers realize, and long to share 
with others. 
Mr. Henderson is a master of the art of pastel. His pastels made 
in France, Italy, Spain, and those of the American subjects — New 
Orleans, Chicago, Boston and New York — have for a number of 
years past been prized by collectors and quite recently have come to 
be properly valued by a more general public. That he should have 
turned his attention to garden subjects is due to the suggestion of Mrs. 
Walter S. Brewster, in whose garden the first of the new series of pas- 
tels were made.
