The Garden 
that We Made 
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 Lilium lancifolium , Lilium 
canadense , the purple Martagan lily, the bright-yellow tiger 
lily, the orange-coloured Lilium umbelatum , and the familiar 
Lilium 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 
Ivronborg.” 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.
