In the case of small garden spaces which are overlooked there is nothing more helpful to the de- signer than a treil- lage screen. In Figs. 78 and 79 is shown a scheme, devised by Inigo Triggs, for â the treatment of a square plot, which measures seventy-four feet each way. There is a stepped pool in the middle, and the shaped beds of a parterre are geometrically dis- posed with reference to four Irish yews. In the corners there would be wooden seats, which have been omitted in the perspective sketch for the purpose of clearness. For the same reason no roses are shown clothing the trellis and no flowers in the beds. The treillage itself is intended to be made of split oak laths interwoven basket- fashion, and the framing would also be of oak with little balls on the tops of the posts. The general effect of a scheme like this, when in being, is well shown by the photograph of a trellis garden, which is included among the illustra- tions of the Pergola Chapter. Although this volume is devoted in the main to the gar- dens of small country houses, the designing of a town garden does not demand the application of very different principles except in so far as more conscious archi- tectural motifs may find a just place. The garden at 100, Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, the residence of Sir Hugh.
