House & Garden 
The artists of the Renaissance knew 
the decorative value of marshalled 
trees with trunks austerely bare and 
spreading crowns. This effect, sug¬ 
gested by tapestries of the time of 
Francis I, has been carried out in an 
English garden by an alley of inter¬ 
woven, carefully spaced cherry trees 
(Left) The pillars for a pergola may 
be of stone, brick, cement or timber. 
Brick piers covered with ivy, a flagged 
walk and a rustic lattice roof make 
this a pleasant garden cloister. The 
regularity of its lines is happily in¬ 
terrupted by the giant trunk of a tree 
which rises through the roof spaces 
In a tangled garden 
where high trees and 
shrubbery form an im¬ 
mediate background an 
interesting pergola can 
be made of untrimmed 
posts and a shaped tim¬ 
ber lattice. Over this 
climbing roses may be 
trained. This type of 
pergola is set around 
the bird bath garden on 
the place of Mrs. Rob¬ 
ert Stevens at Ber- 
nardsville, N. J.
