BEAUTIFYING 
COUNTRY HOMES. 
AN ELEGANT QUARTO VOLUME. 
By J. WEIDENMANN, 
PRICE, POST-PAID, $15.00. 
This magnificent work is illustrated not only with numer¬ 
ous fine wood-engravings, hut also with seventeen full-page 
and seven double-page colored lithographs of places already 
improved. It embodies tlie results of a long practice in 
landscape architecture and rural adornment, and while its 
teachings are in accordance with the received rules of art, 
they are thoroughly practical in their character. It is one 
of the most elegant, and ought to prove one of tlie most 
useful works ever issued in the country. Tlie work, both in 
its letter-press and colored lithographs, is beautifully printed, 
and it is elegantly bound in beveled boards.
