 the Khoseea hills, growing on the rock under a dense covering of trees.

Art. VII. Design for a Trellis for Fruit Trees erected in the Gar- 

 dens of Sir James Carnegie, Bart., Kinnaird Castle, Forfarshire. 

 By Robert Gardiner, Gardener there. 



This trellis is double, the cross section being in the form of 

 the letter A : the rafters rest on blocks of stone sunk in the 

 ground to within a few inches of their upper surface. 



Fig. 140. represents part of 

 one of the sides of the trellis. 

 The ends may either be made 

 to slope at the same angle as 

 the sides, as in fig. 140. b; or 

 they may be perpendicular, as 

 in fig. 141. The rafters of the 

 trellis rest on blocks of stone, 

 9 in. on the side, and 20 in. 

 long, as at a in fig. 140. 



Fig. 142. shows the rafters, 

 in the apex of which is placed 

 the ridgeboard for the ends of 

 the rails to abut against. 



The whole is painted of a dark brown colour. The width 

 at the surface of the ground is 6 ft. and the height is about 

 7 ft. In this garden it is 100 yards in length, and stands
