History of the Easter Lily in Bermuda and its spread
Bermuda emerged as the home of the Easter Lily after an 1872 introduction from Harris via Japan and China. The island now supplies most major markets, with nearly 200 dedicated farms led by Sunnylands near Hamilton. A 3 year growth period yields bulbs earning about $123,000 on a crop of 3,000,000 to 3,000,009 bulbs, sold through New York wholesalers to seedmen and florists, grossing close to $300,000. Calvary’s death scenes were the alphabet of the resurrection glory.

It also references various medical claims, a blue vest at a London auction, and promotions at Rock Island. The passage then shifts to anecdotes about crimes, cures, education in Denmark, and a misfitting array of quotes and advertisements.
