only remained for us to place the stones so that they looked 
as if they had been there for years. 
Thanks to the existing wealth of stones, our rockery 
was a success (cobbles and boulders are the best, as a rule, 
for rockeries). Hollows were dug in the ground for the 
biggest ones, so that they should appear natural ; a narrow 
path paved with cobbles meanders in between the plants, 
so as to be almost invisible, right up to the summit of the 
plantation where rhododendrons and azalea stand on the 
boundary of the estate, Foxgloves raise their erect stems 
by the side of the rhododendrons, and begin to blossom 
when the glory of the rhododendrons is departing. 
Elsewhere in the rockery is a group of aubretia and 
arabis alpina , and they are the attractive features of the 
rockery in the spring, There is also found Phlox verna, a 
sweet, low-stemmed purple variety ; Sedum cyaneum, with 
blue blossoms ; Secliim album (white) ; and Sedum pur- 
pureum ; saponaria ; corydalis, an early yellow dower ; the 
low-stemmed Campanula muralis , with a wealth of dowers ; 
Diantlms neglectus ; Thymus alpinus , etc. 
All the primroses and polyanthus are grouped in one 
spot — yellow, red, purple-blue, and others. In another 
corner are the different kinds of anemone — the blue wood- 
anemone (so often seen in Swedish forests), the yellow 
variety from the north of Sweden, and Anemojie sylveslris, 
or snowdrop anemone. It is a pretty idea, and a good 
lesson in botany, to collect different varieties of the same 
species of dower. One sees their resemblance and their a sundial in the middle
