Making an Arbour .

The Yine should he cut back a little in each 
autumn — because then the young shoots in spring 
will be greener and closer. 
Of course, when the trellis is covered you will 
want some seats and, I dare say, a table. It would 
be a charming plan to have, instead of a table only, 
a bark basket containing growing Ferns. And 
the seat could be made of twisted branches too — 
or some wicker chairs might be painted green or 
brown. You would find brown look best because 
it is the colour of bark, while green seems to try 
to look like leaves and can’t manage it. 
The basket of Ferns would thrive most charm- 
ingly in the shade, and I am sure you would quite 
delight in each new place you went to in collect- 
ing new Ferns to add to those growing in it. 
I may just add a hint that many little plants 
which grow on walls and in clefts of trees would 
also look very pretty on the roof of your garden- 
house.
