the sprays, old and young, 
to accumulate on the masts 
and festoons from year to 
year until they resemble great 
pillars and cables of branch 
and foliage, from twelve to 
eighteen inches in thickness. 
The idea is adapted to 
many forms. Frequently, 
only the masts are used; 
sometimes they are combined 
with some further support, 
as in one small garden which 
comprised a circle of turf 
surrounded by masts between 
which were fastened hoops 
of iron, eight feet in diameter, 
the whole serving as a screen 
for climbing Roses. In the 
Tuileries Gardens some of the 
uprights are not more than 
two feet high and connected 
by straight iron rods. 
These low screens are 
obviously designed to 
form backgrounds for 
flowers, separating 
them from the turf be- 
yond, and are there- 
fore raised no higher 
than the adjacent 
blossoms. It is to be 
noted that here the 
Roses are kept closely 
trimmed to preserve 
their restraint.

Intermediary garlands joining the pillars 
of Wichuraiana hybrids 
den of the Tuileries are 
other interesting variations 
of the idea, also. At one 
point the masts are eight 
feet high and the rest of 
the screen rises three feet 
above the ground, the masts 
having been extended by 
lashing bamboo poles to the 
smaller iron uprights. A 
more elaborate screen was 
constructed of iron stakes 
set a foot apart in pairs, 
rising two feet above the 
soil and with a distance of 
six feet between each pair. 
The intervening spaces were 
spanned by iron strips, also 
in pairs, rising to peaks. 
At the corners of their 
gardens are often fascinating 
curved designs, a duplicate 
of which might whet 
the ambitions and in- 
genuity of American 
Rose gardeners, and 
a lavish use of trellis 
work transforms some 
of them into realms 
of veritable enchant- 
ment, like nothing less 
than a fairyland of 
dreams. Let no prej- 
udice presuppose that 
the effect is too arti- 
ficial, either. Seeing 
it, is conversion to it!
