Above the coral foundation is a thin layer of rich red earth in which grow the aromatic Bermuda cedars, the cultivated acres of caster lilies, potatoes and kale, but few onions. "Bermuda onions" for U. S. markets are grown in Texas, Florida. Bicycles are essential to the Bermudians and to all but the richest visitors, because no automobiles are allowed on the islands.* Carriage horses are expensive to rent or keep (oats...
