A SUPERB VOLUME. 
BEAUTIFYING 
COUMTtY HOMES 
A HANDBOOK 
OF 
LANDSCAPE CARDENINC. 
BY 
J. WEIDENM ANN. 
-A. Splendid. Quarto Volume. 
BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED 
With numerous fine Wood Engravings, and with 
17 FULL PAG-E and 7 DOUBLE PAGE 
COLORED LITHOGRAPHS 
OP PLACES ALREADY IMPROVED. 
Within the last ten years, the popular taste lias wonder¬ 
fully advanced, and the want of a work of instruction in 
Beautifying Homes has been greatly felt. In the present 
work the author states the methods by which every land 
owner may improve and beautify his suburban home 
effectively, and with economy—keeping in view the 
maxim that “Whatever is worth doing, is worth doing 
well.” He does not give the arguments in favor of the 
methods recommended here, hut confines himself to such 
instructions as his own personal practice, as well as the 
experience of the most eminent landscape architects in 
both this country and Europe, have taught him to be the 
best. Neither does he give rules that arc applicable to 
only one particular style of grounds and residences, hut 
lays down such general rules and principles as may be 
applicable to any situation. 
It is believed that the hints given in this work upon 
the extended and varying subjects treated will be appre¬ 
ciated, and that its introduction may do much towards 
beautifying our suburban homes, farms, and villas. 
All cannot enjoy the privilege of a stroll in the King of 
Parks—the Central Park of New York. Comparatively 
few can view its extended lawns, or its bold cliffs and 
caves, admire its triumphs of architectural taste, or note 
how the skillful artist has converted a vast plain into 
hills and dales, and varied it witli lakes and cascades, 
shady founts, and open lawns. But all can make their 
country homes attractive and lovely, and enjoy the beau¬ 
ties of nature about their own house and fireside.
