CINNAMON VINE BULBS 



Beautiful leaves, dainty flowers, exquisite 

 perfume, grows in shade or sun, wet or dry. 

 No insects ever trouble. 



A charming climber that will quickly sur- 

 round your arbor, window or veranda with 

 a wonderful profusion of vines covered with 

 handsome, glossy, heart-shaped leaves, while 

 its clusters of delicate white flowers emit a 

 delicious fragrance. Very hardy, thriving al- 

 most everywhere, though perhaps not so 

 well adapted to the extreme north. The 

 first year the vines run about 10 feet, but 

 eventually reach a height of about 25 to 40 

 feet. See my "Culture of Flowers" for di- 

 rections. Two or three roots, one foot apart, 

 on each side of a door or window will quick- 

 ly cover it. They do best in a warm, sunny 

 location, though thriving almost anywhere. 



Extra Quality — Sure to grow. Price 1 

 strong root, 10c; 3 roots, 25c; 12 roots, 90c; 

 all postpaid.
