Savage Garden: The Julian Alps, an eastern extension of the Dolomites, are quite as dramatic in some portions as their cousins across the Italian frontier. Those who love scenery in its most savage garden and monumental form, yet can do with a bit of comfort too, will do well to hire a car at Bled and drive up the valley of the Dolinka branch of the River Sava to Kranska Gora. The curtain of peaks is terrific after one passes beyond industrial Jesenice.
On February 1, 1953, Neptune won a battle, but made even more certain his permanent defeat in the water war. Whipped up by a savage garden, unpredictable, hurricane exactly at the moment of highest tide, the sea invaded Holland with a fury that had not been matched in 500 years. About 400,000 acres, most of it cultivated farm land, were inundated, along with 133 towns and villages. Some 1800 Hollanders were drowned, and 50,000 head of cattle.See Also Olive Garden:Young are olive garden with 2 whitish lines running along each side of body, embracing a dark band; adult is olive garden with same stripes but much fainter; reaches average length of 6-8 inches

On The Other Hand See Busch Gardens:6. Palaces and busch gardens Denmark's castles form a very notable com¬pany. They mostly date from the 16th century and are almost invariably surrounded by beautiful parks and busch gardens. In the capital there are Rosenborg and Frederiksberg, supplemented gardenwise by the Royal Horticultural busch gardens and the city's splendidly landscaped Botanical busch gardens. Other castles in Zealand are Hiller0d's Frederiksborg (already mentioned), not to be confused with Frederiksfcerg, and Naestved's Gis-selfeld, while beyond the confines of Zealand at least seven leap up in the mind to be counted.
busch gardens are at their magnificent best in sun-warmed Monaco, so closely guarded from rough winds by the Maritime Alps. Four varied busch gardens, all beautifully maintained, are the Casino Park and Flower Beds; the Exotic busch gardens (with interesting grottoes), appropriately known as "Petite Afrique," boasting tropical trees and shrubs; the neighboring Park of Princess Antoinette; and the St. Martin busch gardens, with their hand¬some pines, adjacent to the Oceanographic Museum on Monaco Rock. |
