and Japan, illustrated and described in 
Picturesque Gardens” 
By CHARLES HENDERSON 
Popular Edition Heavy Levant Paper Cover: 108 pages 9x11 inches; 
349 photographic illustrations. Price, S1.00 postpaid. 
This unique book mirrors the charms of the prettiest parks, lawns and gardens of 
Europe and America. I he picturesque, the natural and the gardenesque adornments 
are reflected in over three hundred magnificent photographic illustrations from nature 
many of these views are 5 x 7 inches, some larger, few smaller; they are grouped 
and printed in a most artistic manner on heavy pciper, with just enough text matter 
to describe the view and name the plants, vines, trees and shrubs needed to produce 
a similar effect or design. 
There are in this country many lawns, gardens and grounds which the owners 
would improve and embellish, but they do not know exactly what they want, what 
would look well nor how to go about it, and it is for the benefit of such that we have 
prepared this book, for, although there are countless works of exhaustive precept on 
landscaping and gardening, there have been none issued so rich with illustrations of 
example. In it we force no particular styles or fashions, but describe and picture such 
a great variety of lawn and garden creations that some fruitful suggestions must be 
found adaptable to the environment of every home, whether pretentious or modest, 
l hose who are fond of improving and embellishing their gardens, lawns and grounds, or 
who are planning new ones, will get many valuable ideas from this beautiful book. 
“Picturesque Gardens,” is handsomely bound, and will grace any library table, even 
as an album of the beautiful in gardens.
