Henderson’s 
New Book, 
“PICTURESQUE GARDENS” 
Ornamental 
Gardening 
Illustrated. 
By CHARLES HENDERSON. 
160 pages, 9% x 12 inches; 340 photographic illustrations. Price, S2.o( 
, pusi-puiu. 
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 gardcncsque adornments are reflected in over three hundred magnificent photographic illus¬ 
trations 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-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 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 partictP" 
lar 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. 
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.
