INTRODUCTION OF THE BERMUDA LIL 
The Bermuda Lily was first brought to America nd 
the Island of Bermuda in 1876, by Mrs. Tuomas Р. 
SARGENT, заи Parchasing iem of ard t Ha 
sylvania HRailro When she lea the 
island, in the jet of that year, im а Бр pam 
there gave her a few of the Lily bulbs. Upon he 
arrival at her home she 1 some of them to 
Mr. Ковевт Crawrorp, a near-by florist, who about 
a year later sold the reper to Mr. WILLIAM Harris, 
of Philadelphia, He began growing the bulbs, and 
offered them to the public, "t M ке Зд д 
name, as Lilium Harrisii. . SAR

how the Japanese Lily came to be cultivated in 
Bermuda ?]

POGAMIC FERNS.—It¢ is with surprise that I 
learn from Mr. Dru paper on apoga rns 
(Gardeners’ Chronicle, August 24), that Nephrodium

Fern), is according to De B 
gonia, and T that varieties cannot be raised 
from its spores. The original plant was found at

Scolopendrium prothalli in which the whole of 
them merely developed into thorns, eventually 
forming a bunch of thorns, end afterwards 1 anang 
several curious fronds, but they reverted t
