i84 GARDENS: THEIR FORM AND DESIGN 



through which nothing penetrates, but they have the 

 advantage of rolling up easily, when it is wished to admit 

 air and light. 



In considering the graceful, inexpensive ways in which 

 other countries build arbours, whether it be the Japanese 

 roof of dried twigs mounted upon stout uprights, placed 

 at intervals to form a circle, with little coloured paper 

 lanterns suspended to decorate, or the Norwegian grass- 

 sown roofs, we feel that there surely is great imagination 

 lying dormant in England, but that it needs inspiration to 

 call it forth in building shadow-houses.
