U2 THE BOTANY OF BERMUDA. 
Hill, from New York plants. There is nothing to prevent the fruit be- 
ing abundant. 
Rubus ideus, Linn. Raspberry. 
It is clearly established that Bermuda is beyond the southern limit 
of this native American plant. It was perseveringly tried by Governor 
Lefroy and Hon. Eugenius Harvey, 1872~76, and fruit actually produced 
by the latter, but the plants could not be kept alive. 
Spirea prunifolia, Sieb. 
S. salicifolia, Linn. 
Both species are to be found in gardens. 
Geum radiatum?, Michx. 
A common yellow-flowering weed in fields. 
Rosa Carolina, Linn. 
Tried with the like result. 
R. levigata?, Michx. Wild rose. 
Naturalized in Pembroke marsh and in the Walsingham tract. 
Kt. lutea, Brot., var. Punicee. Austrian briar. 
Introduced from Cambridge, Mass, 1874, and very healthy 1877. 
R. rubiginosa, Linn. Sweet briar. 
Is found in gardens. 
R. spinosissima, Linn. 
FR. Damascina, Linn.

cies were from England and America introduced at Mount Langton, 
1872~76. The moss rose (f. centifolia, Linn.) does not succeed in Ber- 
muda. White roses are in great profusion; as many as 2,000 blooms 
have been used in the Easter decoration of Trinity Church alone. 
Crategus pyracantha, Pers. Hawthorn. 
At Camden and Mount Langton; but of a great number of species 
tried to be raised from seed in 1872, none succeeded in establishing 
themselves. 
Pyrus Malus, Linn. Apple. 
A few apples are grown in Bermuda, of an indifferent quality, and rather
