T his unique new book mirrors the charms of the prettiest iiarks, lawns and {.gardens of ICuroiK’ and America. 'I'ho ])icturcsque, 
the natural and the j?ardcnes(juc adornments are reflected in over three hundred magnificent photographic illustrations 
from nature — many of these views are 5x7 inches, some larger, few smaller; they are grouped and ])nnted in a nujst 
artistic manner on heavv-coatCLl ])aper, with just cnou.gh 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 wliich 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 
on landsca])ing and gardening, there have been none issued so rich with 
illustrations of example, 1-n 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 eiu ironment of every home, 
whether ])retentious 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.
