Practical Landscape Gardening 
ROBT. B. CRIDLAND SECOND EDITION

First practical book ever written for people of

lucidity of expression, rarely met with in technical 
or semi-technical guides, the reader is encouraged 
at the ease with which he can acquire all needful 
instruction on every detail connected with land¬ 
scape gardening and as to the embellishment of the 
home grounds. 
The home builder will find Practical Landscape 
Gardening of great assistance and pleasure, as 
its advice will enable him to avoid those mistakes 
which are expensive and a source of subsequent 
annoyance. To have a preconceived idea of the 
scheme of your home grounds as an integral whole 
affords additional interest and enthusiasm in its 
ultimate achievement.
