W. T., in the Garden, furnishes the fol¬ 
lowing sketch and explanation which we 
copy:—“The accompanying engraving is 
from some sketches of a very pretty arch, 
which was arranged in the following man¬ 
ner:—Upon the wire were fastened single 
blooms and pairs of blooms of La pageria ro¬ 
sea, which had been previously mounted 
upon wires, so that 
they might stand out ^ < 
firmly, and hang as if 
they formed part of a fc 
growing plant. Three 
or four long branches 
of that beautiful 
climber, Myfsipliyl- 
lum aspararjoicles, % 
were then twined 
over the arch from ' ®jg}. tf 
one end to the other, V 
its bright apple-green 1 ■=‘- 
leaves having a very l' 
cheerful effect; while ^ 
they also concealed 1 '^1 
the iron-mongery of '' 1 ' 'q? | 
the arch and the 
La,page t las. The finishing stroke was 
effected by very loosely intertwining some 
long fronds of the commonest, but, at the 
same time, the most elegant of all the 
climbing ferns, Lygodlum JaponicMm, a 
species generally sold under the wrong 
name of L. Hcandcns. 
“In this case, the plants of those climbers 
were in llower-pots concealed under the 
table, and so also were the pots of the two 
plants of Lnmatia which are seen rising 
from the bases of the arch. If it had not 
been practicable to put any pots through 
the table, those containing the two climb¬ 
ers ootikl just a-- easily have been placed 
upon the table, and concealed with some 
common fern fronds; in which case the 
LomaUm Qoultl not have been used, un¬ 
less by cutting them down, and sticking 
them Into the pots of the climbers—though 
an equally good effect might be obtained by 
sticking in one or two small fronds of 
Pterin tremula, or large fronds of one of 
the many varieties of Pterin serrutata. 
“ Tho table upon which this arch was 
placed was oval-shaped, suitable for a party 
of twelve. The plant sunk in the middle 
of tho table was Yucca aToifbitu rhrfnjat.a, 
among the lower leaves of which were in¬ 
serted some fronds of Glolchcnla spclun- 
c 05.”
