Patent Extending Trellis. 



This trellis, nuiuufactured by Messrs. S. and C. Causley, of Kingsland 

 Road, London, is a great improvement both in appearance and durability on 

 that in ordinary use. It is generally understood that trellis-work, from its 

 great bulk, does not pay the cost of carriage, but from the extraordinary 

 manner in w^hich this extending trellis closes up, this objection is entirely 

 overcome. Thus, a length 8 ft. by 3 ft. 2 in. will close up, as shown in the 

 engraving, into a solid piece of 2| feet by o\ ft. This trellis is remark- 

 ably well made ; the laths are planed on both sides, and measure 1 in. by 

 \ in. thick, and for training climbing plants, garden screens, and other 

 purposes, is certainly superior to anything we have yet seen.
