THE BACK-YARD FENCE 



posts, with ornamental tops and narrow palings, make the 

 height. In this and in the fence shown at the top of page 46 

 good proportion is very necessary. 



A most decorative fence is shown above. The boxed-in 

 posts are eight inches square, with a square board on top. 

 The boards are cut down to the upper stringer, and an open 

 lattice is substituted. The posts may end at the upper stringer 

 and the fence be completed by a two-foot-wide diagonal lat- 

 tice. This is a type of fence very common in old gardens.
