CINNAHON VINE.— A beautiful hardy Climbing Vine, which will quickly 

 surround an arbor, window or veranda with a profusion of vines covered 

 with handsome glossy, heart-shaped leaves, bearing great numbers of 

 delicate white blossoms which emit a delicious cinnamon fragrance. We 

 know of no vine that is more satisfactory, being perfectly hardy, thriving 

 everywhere, and when once planted will grow for many years and be a 

 source of constant delight. The vines quickly make long shoots twenty- 

 fi re feet or more in length, and can be used for all purposes where a beautiful 

 climbing vine is needed. Ornamental climbers are nature's drapery, and 

 few, if any, other plants can compare with the Cinnamon Vine, twining and 

 climbing in its own native graceful beauty. It should be planted by every 

 one. Plant the bulbs about one inch deep in rich soil, and with the approach 

 of Winter cover lightly with straw and leaves to prevent freezing. Price,
