A X. Design for a Garden Seat.

We think our competitors have, on the whole,
not quite grasped the requirements of a
garden seat. Not only should it be com-
fortable to sit upon, but it should also be
constructed to withstand as far as possible
the inclemencies of the weather. Garden
seats are rarely made so that rainwater will
drain off quickly enough. In many cases
it would be an advantage if the back could
be made so as to let down and cover the
seat, or the seat itself to turn back when
not occupied, so as to be clean when
required for use. These are points which
seem to have received very little attention.
In many cases, too, sufficient details have
not been given to show construction.
