GARDENS IN THE MAKING 



FIG. 39. A painted Seat. 



arched recess in a wall is shown in fig. 40, and an 

 open recess can be roofed with interlacing timbers, 

 pergola-fashion, to form an arbour (fig. 3). In fig. 44 

 a niche in a yew hedge answers the same purpose, 

 and treillage lends itself admirably to a similar 

 treatment. In such cases care should be exercised 

 in keeping the interior swept and clean, leaving the 

 outside to be covered by the random growth of 

 creepers or climbing roses, or by the trimmed out- 

 lines of the yew. 



The material to be used and, the type of design 

 to be selected for seats is a somewhat vexed question.
