Easter Lilies in Bermuda.

Usually the first drive taken by the
stranger in Bermuda is to st. George.
Old stone walls. covered with flaming
blossoms in the spring, separate the road
from tiny patches of Bermuda onions,
and the fields of Easter lilies for which
Bermuda is becoming famous. In
blankets of white the lilies stretch out,
too pure, too delicate. too beautiful, for
adequate description. The luxuriance
and perfection of the lilies is all the
more surprising when it is known that
not much more than ten years ago there
were no Easter lilies in BERN uda worthy
of mention. General Hastings, whose
wife is niece Of the late exPresident
Hayes, began to plant them extensively
about decade ago; now they cover the
island with white robe at Easter time;
and their cultivation constitutes one of
the principal industries of the islands.
In March they are in their glory, and
convert Bermuda into a fairy-land of
sweet odors and queen-like, nodding
lilies. To right and to left Of you, be-
fore and behind, field after field spreads
it's wealth of blossoms; and frequently
the fields are surrounded by Oleander
hedges, which add the beauty Of their
masses Of wax-llke pink blossoms. A
moonlight view of these lily-felds is a
positively uncanny, unreal sight, like
ghosts of flowers they seem, in their
dazzling, ethereal whiteness, and the
experience is one never to be forgotten.
The lilies are exported in immense
quantities, and for this purpose are cut
while still in bud; each bell is wrapped
in moss or cotton, and then they are
packed with great care, sixty or humid
red in a box. Several thousand boxes
are shipped annually, and they sell in
BERN uda for two dollars a box; with
guarantee, however, that they shall ar
rive in England, Canada, or the United
States in good condition. The average
stalk produces from six to eight buds;
but occasionally a proud grower obtains
q marvel like the one illustrated, which
bears seventy-two blossoms.

Rare Florida Palms.

from his seventh cruise among the Flor.
ida keys and reports number Of inter-
esting botanical discoveries, including
two additions to his list of two hundred
trees. 1t was his special objec tostudythe
palms peculiar to these coral islands,
and IN this he succeeded beyond his ex-
pectation, determining the range of each
and securing the material that has been
needed for their accurate Identification
There are three kinds of palms on the
keys that can hardly be distinguished
from one another at little distance.
They have fan-shaped leaves and stems
seldom exceeding three inches in diam
eter, though sometimes attaining
height of nearly four feet. They furnish
the inhabitants with "crawl poles'' and
m atroials for hats and baskets.
For the first time Prof. Curtiss sue
ceeded in finding the grove of Pseudo
ph@nixSargentii, on Long Key. A few
young trees Of this remarkable palm
were found by him on Elliott's Key in
1881, but were mistaken for young royal
palms. Five years later he accompanied
Prof. @. S. Sargent on cruise in the
steamer Laurel, and in exploring the
same key Professor Sargent was first to
catch sight of mature and we'll fruited
tree of the same palm, and the fruit was
found to be wholly different from that
of the royal or any other known palm.
Drawings were made for Professors
Sargent's '"Trees of North America"
and material for study was sent to
Wendlandt, the leading authority on
palms, who found it to be both speci
fically and generically distinct from
either known species.
This discovery led to the detection Of
quite grove of the same palm on Long
Key, which was then being converted
into cocoanut plantations, and the owner
ordered It's preservation, which was
most fortunate, as otherwise this rem
arkable tree might have been extermin-
ated before being brought into cultiva-
ton.
Long Key is situated about sixty
miles northeastward form Key West,
and is OF very irregular from, consisting
Of three arms or prongs, each about two
miles long. Last summer Professor
Curtiss lanGed on this key with dia-
gram furnished him by Commodore
Monroe, who had succeeded in finding
the palms and also in successfully trans
planting one of them to Cocoanut Grove;
but varying little from the right
course, he failed to find anything besides
cocoanuts and mangroves. Now that
he has succeed in reaching the palms,
he, finds that Commodore Monroe's in.
structions were pretty near correct but
not as simple as they might have been.
If one will land few hundred yards
east of the southern point Of Long Key,
at large black mangrove standing
along at the waters edge, and will then
proceeded directly inland across mar
row skirt of swamp, he will see, on
emerging from the mangroves, the
Pseudophenix directly before him, and
he will behold the rarest and most I'M
ioue of North American trees, and one
which as to beauty of fruitage is per-
haps not excelled by any tree in the
