NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
Orange Judd & Co. have just Issued a book that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of our readers will be glad to have. 
It is a quarto volume, devoted to views and plans of grounds around and about rural residences, homes in the coun¬ 
try ; actual pictures of lawns laid out, with walks, and fountains, and trees, each particular tree and bush being on 
the spot where it stands in the grounds ; for all these are actual sketches of places owned and laid out by persons 
whose names are given with them, so that the places themselves may be visited by anybody who wishes to sec them. 
It will he good economy for any one who wishes to go into the luxury of rural residence to buy this hook—it will 
cost only fifteen dollars—and will save fifteen hundred, perhaps as many thousands, by opening one’s eyes to see what 
is to he done, and what it will cost to do it.—V. Y. Observer. 
We have from Orange Judd & Co. a magnificent manual, entitled Beautifying Country Homes; a Hand-Bool of 
Landscape Gardening. It is a brief treatise on landscape gardening and architecture, explaining the principles of 
beauty which apply to it, and making just those practical suggestions of which every builder and owner of a little land, 
who desires to make the most of it in the way of convenience and taste, stands in need, in regard to lawns, drainage, 
roads, drives, walks, grading, fences, hedges, trees—their selection and their grouping—flowers, water, ornamenta¬ 
tion, rock-worlc, tools, and general improvements. The chapter on “ improving new places economically ” would 
he wortli much more than the cost of the hook ten times over to many persons. The whole is illustrated, not only 
by little sketches, hut by a series of full page lithographs of places which have been actually treated jn accordance 
wit h the principles laid down, with lists of trees and shrubs, and other useful suggestions. We have never met with 
any tiling — and we have given a good deal of attention to the subject, and bought a great many hooks upon it — which 
seemed to us so helpful and, in general, so trustworthy as this treatise, which we heartily commend. We omitted 
to say that it lias been, done by .Mr. J. Weidenmaun, Superintendent of the City Park, and of Cedar Hill Cemetery, 
Hartford, Conn.— Congregationalist (Boston). 
A home! A home in the country ! And a home made beautiful by taste! Here are three ideas-which invest with a 
triple charm the subject of this exquisite volume. Wc know of nothing which indicates a more healthy progress, 
among our countrymen than the growing taste for such homes. The American people arc' quick to follow a fashion', 
and it is getting to he the fashion to have a place in the country, and to beautify it; and tliis is at once fed and guided 
liy such hooks as this, which lay down the just principles of landscape gardening, and teacli all how to use the means 
at their disposal. This hook is prepared with careful judgment. It includes many plans, and furnishes minute in¬ 
struction for the laying out of grounds and the planting of trees. We have found very great pleasure in a first inspec- 
tion, and doubt not that when another summer returns, we shall find the hook as practically useful, as it is beautiful 
to the eye and exciting to the imagination. — N. Y. Evangelist.
