PASSIFLORA EDULIS 



PASSION VINE 



The Passion Vine thrives in California. It is not yet well 

 known, however, and hence its fruit has not come into general 

 use. In Australia it is extensively grown. 



The fruit is the size and shape of an egg, and contains a 

 pulp of exceedingly good flavor. It is consumed much in the 

 same manner as an egg, that is, by cutting off one end and re- 

 moving the contents with a spoon. The pulp is also used as a 

 flavoring for cakes, ice-creams, drinks and sweet-meats, and is a 

 much appreciated addition to fruit salads. It packs and ships 

 well. 



The vine is a vigorous grower, and well suited to use on trellis 

 or screen frames. It is quite hardy. 



Price, small plants in 2-inch pots by mail, 25 cents each; by the 

 hundred by express, 20 cents each.
