Sapphire blue niches, which have 
rose-marbled posts flanking them, 
hold Chinese figures of yellow 
marble. The window framing of 
trellis and the perspective trellis 
inserts add to the unusual charac¬ 
ter of the garden, each contribut¬

room beyond. An old Siennese coat-of-arms is hung against the plastered wall.

ustrade, which runs around the 
tiled walk, is background for a 
stiff and formal ivy hedge, trained 
on a wire frame. The illustration 
gives an excellent idea of the use 
of a perspective treillage
