When used in long lengths, trellis of this kind 

 is less monotonous in effect than the usual 

 diagonal pattern, particularly if it is subdivided

Seats — Taste in garden seats has suffered 

 badly at the hands of the ironmonger, whose 

 stock patterns one meets with everywhere. 

 They have the merit of being inexpensive, and 

 the glamour of their emerald-tinted ironwork 

 and varnished wood impels the thoughtless 

 gardener to purchase. But they have their 

 drawbacks, if innocent as regards appearance. 

 The rain finds its way in between wood and 

 iron, and starts the process of rusting; sun and 

 weather destroy the varnish; and then the wet 

 attacks the wooden slats. Lastly, the iron 

 heels have a way of working down into turf 

 or gravel. 



A better type of seat is one built entirely of 

 wood, painted white or pale green. 



The illustrations show some typical forms of 

 wooden seat suitable for any size of garden.
