The passion vines or granadillas are mostly perennial, ornamental climbers, having 

 curiously formed flowers, often fragrant and very beautiful. About 120 species are 

 known, of which some half dozen are commonly grown for ornament, either because 

 of their flowers or to cover arbors, and some dozen bear edible fruits called granadillas. 

 Our own Passiflora incarnata, which grows wild in all the southeastern States and 

 ranges as far north as Virginia and Missouri, bears small oval fruits, which are called 

 maypops, and are, when fully ripe, not bad eating. The best granadillas are 

 P. quadrang ularis, P. edalis, P. macrocarpa, and P. laurifolia. These fruits are much 

 esteemed in the Tropics. They should be tried in all frost- free regions. Hybrids of 

 the edible species should be produced if possible. (See Nos. 1978 and 2229.)
