Trellises. — One of these, according to Mr 

 Rivers' model, has just been erected in the garden ol 

 the Horticultural Society. It is 21 feet long, and h 

 covered by six sashes, each 8 feet by 3 feet 6 inches, 

 and made from Mr. Montgomery's steam-cut wood. 

 Three of the six sashes, together with the trellis under 



and back plates, agreeably to Mr. Rivers' rough model.
