The Garden 

 that We Made 



Phlox in the Park. 



It thrives best in cooler 

 climates. For instance, it 

 does well in Scotland, where 

 it is seen about the little 

 cottages — very often even 

 growing- on the roof; while 

 in England one does not so 

 often see it doing full justice 

 to its powers of strength and 

 beauty. 



The Lily ' 



Corner. 



Beside the "tea terrace " with its white-painted benches 

 and tables, we have what we call our lily corner. The soil 

 was especially and carefully prepared. Here is every 

 conceivable kind of lily, most of which show their gratitude 

 by flowering profusely, and permeating the air with scent. 

 Amongst the loveliest are Liliiiin lancifolium^ Lilitim 

 canadense, the purple Martagan lily, the bright-yellow tiger 

 lily, the orange-coloured Li/iiuii umbelatum, and the familiar 

 Lilmm bulbiferum. 



All these lilies are planted round a huge upright 

 boulder, which the late King Oscar of Sweden had placed 

 there many years ago, and which bears the following 

 inscription : " From this spot one can see the Castle of 

 Kronborg." This inscription was chiselled in the year the 

 Castle of Sofiero was built, namely, 1865. But it is 

 impossible to see a glimpse of Kronborg Castle nowadays, 

 even though we have felled a number of trees.
