Ornamental 
Gardening 
Illustrated, 
1G0 pages, 9% x 12 inches; 340 photographic illustrations. Price, §2.50, post-paid. 
T HIS unique new book mirrors the charms of the prettiest parks, lawns and gardens of Europe and America. The pictur¬ 
esque,-the natural and the gardenesque adornments are re fleeted in over three hundred magnificent photographic illus= 
trations from nature —many of these views are 5x7 inches, some larger, few smaller; they arc grouped and printed in a 
most artistic manner on heavy-coated paper, 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 the y 
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 particu¬ 
lar styles or fashions, but describe and picture such a great variety of lawn and 
garden creations that some fruitful suggestions must berfound adaptable to the 
environment of every home, whether pretentious or modest. 
Those 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.
