Excerpt from The Art of Beautifying Suburban Home Hrounds: Of Small Extent "The landscape, forever consoling and kind, Pours her wine and her oil on the smarts of the mind." Lowell. The aim of this work is to aid persons of moderate income, who know little of the arts of decorative gardening, to beautify their homes; to suggest and illustrate the simple means with which beautiful home-surroundings may be realized on small grounds, and with little cost; and thus to assist in giving an intelligent direction to the desires, and a satisfactory result for the labors of those who are engaged in embellishing homes, as well as those whose imaginations are warm with the hopes of homes that are yet to be.
