382 GARDENING FOR PLEASURE. 



though for such purposes it will be mainly employed, yet 

 it should be used for all plants requiring support, such as 

 Lima Beans, Tomatoes, etc., and when space is limited, 

 Cucumbers and Melons could be trained to fruit on it 

 with little trouble; besides, there are scores of climbing 

 flowering plants, both perennial and annual, which can 

 be trained with the best results on the Pea vine trellis. 

 We used this new trellis extensively in our trial grounds 

 last season, and found it aii admirable substitute for 

 brush or strings in staking Peas, Tomatoes, etc. Its 

 construction is such that the cultivator is 

 enabled to pass freely between the rows,

thus simplifying the work of cleaning and picking; 

 and, besides, it is at all times a neat and ornamental 

 feature in the garden. These trellises are strongly made 

 of galvanized wire, with staunch wooden uprights, neatly 

 painted, and, with care, will last for a dozen years. 

 They are so made that, after they are through with in 

 the garden, they can be rolled up into a small compass 

 and put away.
