of the story.
Mr.. Peple's judgment as to dra-
matte values and Interpretation is
based upon firm foundation. His

Referring for authority to wallace,s

from different regions, but were OF
different ethnic stocks. Between the
highest and the lowest types there was

Lowest of these types was the black
Guinea negro Of the west coast. with

who lost no time in multiplying the
bulbs and growing the plants in large
numbers, selling them IN pots.
Thus was introduced into this coun.
try what we know today as the Easter
lly-a flower which had been
previously. cultivated for many years
in Bermuda.
It was not originally native to Der.
muda, however. Nobody seems to
know who first planted it there. But
there is no doubt of the fact that it
came from the Far East. Presumably
some f~ar.voyaging mariner, whose
home was in Bermuda, brought It
back with him.
When we speak Of the lilies Of the
