Trellis planting

I should therefore suppose that no treillage ought to be introduced, except in situations where creeping plants may be fastened to the framing, which should be stout in proportion to its height, or its intentions [see fig. 94]: it is a com- mon mistake to suppose a thing will look light by being slender; if it be not equal to its office by its apparent substance, it will look weak, not light; but the lattice-work is supposed to support nothing, and may therefore be of any dimensions, and, being always painted, it will be invisible at a distance.
