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 quartq.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 qames are given with them, so that the places themselves may he visited by anybody who wishes to see 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 be done, and what it will cost to do it,— N. Y. Observer. 
We have from Orange Judd & Co. a magnificent manual, entitled Beautifying Country Homes; a Hand-Book 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 i t 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-work, tools, and general improvements. The chapter on “.improving new places economically ” would 
be worth much more than the cost of the book 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 in accordance 
with the principles laid down, with lists of trees and shrubs, and other useful suggestions. Wo have never met with 
any thing—and we have given a good deal of attention to the subject, and bought a great many books upon it—which 
seemed to us so helpful and, in general, so trustworthy as this treatise, which wo heartily commend. We omitted 
to say that it lias been done by Mr. J. Weidenmann, Superintendent of the City Park, and of Cedar HOI Cemetery, 
Hartford, Conn .—Congremtionalist (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. We know of nothing which indicates a more healthy progress 
among our countrymen than the growing taste for such homes. The American people are quick to follow a fashion, 
and it is getting to ho the fashion to have a place in the country, and to beautify it; and this is'at'Once'fed and guided 
by such books as this, which lay down the just principles of landscape gardening, and teach all how to use the means 
at their disposal. Tins book is prepared with careful judgment. It includes many plali^.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 book as.practically useful, as it is beautiful 
to tho eye and exciting to the imagination.—JV. Y. Evangelist.
