OLEANDERS OF BERMUDA.
In Summer Time They Fairly Run Riot
Over the Islands.

Over the Islands.
Back in the fiftles, when Anthony
TrolIope held rowing commission as
postoffice inspector for the British gov
ernment, he visited Bermuda, then
practically unknown to any people
save mariners. The distinguished au-
thor said some uncOmplimentary things
about the native Bermudians, much to
their amusement, but he could not help
praising the scenery OF their island
home and particularly the oleanders.
lie voted that Bermuda should be call
ed the "Oleander Isles"
Ruriously enough, Bermuda is better
known as the home Of the onion and
the Easter lily, to say nothing OF the
potato and the rose, although the olean-
der is the most gorgeous and conspic-
uous shrub in the islands. Shrub Is
hardly the word to describe the olean-
der. 1t is really tree, lifting its top
twenty feet in the air and growing In
thickets that the island planters use as
screens or windbreaks.
In summer the hedges are covered
with Il profusiOn Of pink, white and
crimson blossoms that last well into
the autumn and make great Apiashes
of color on the hills and ut the road
side. The oleander has no enemies.
Animals refuse to touch it, and the
tree runs its riotous way all over the
islands Those who visit Bermuda
only in winter miss the glory of the
oleander blossoms and also many Of
the other gorgeous flowers. While
there is plenty Of bloom In the winter
months. the array Of flowers is even
greater In summer.-New York Post.
