J. T. HULL MU) 
HIS unique new book mirrors the charms of the prettiest parks, lawns and gardens of Europe and America. The 
picturesque, the natural and the gardcnesque adornments are reflected in over three hundred magnificent photo¬ 
graphic illustrations from nature — many of these views are 5x7 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 
wh 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 work's 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. 
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.
