THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF THE TENNIS COURT 



white columns, and topped with a pergola extension 

 combine to form an ideal court enclosure shown in 

 one of the illustrations. Within the retaining wall 

 are found the seats and shrubbery. On the outside 

 of the wall a mass of dwarf evergreens and blooming 

 plants, with blooming vines climbing over the wire 

 panels between the columns, produces the effect of 

 a flower-banked garden pergola, without a suggestion 

 of the court from the house view. Another good plan 

 that has been effectively carried out is shown in the 

 court situated on the level of a steep terrace, with 

 the pergola roof of the net enclosure on the level of 

 the upper lawn and the view from the house of the 

 vine-draped roof, giving the appearance of a flower 

 border. An attractive layout, with casual and unex- 

 pected features, will go far towards making the 

 tennis court a;n architectural success.
