THE CINNAMON VINE. 
A beautiful and rapid climber possessing the rare qual¬ 
ity of emitting from its flowers the delightful odor or 
cinnamon, and very appropriately called the “Cinnamon 
Vine.” The plants are grown from bulbs or roots and are 
very nice for window ornaments, or out-door culture. 
They are perfectly hardy; the stem dying down every 
autumn, but growing again in the spring so rapidly as to 
completely cover any trellis or arbor very early in the 
season. The vines often run 25 feet or more, and when 
trained over and about a door or window make an orna¬ 
ment much admired: while its many clusters of delicate 
white flowers sends out an amount of fragrance that is 
truly wonderful. It is easy to cultivate, has no insect en¬ 
emies, and is not affected by drouth because it roots so 
deeply. The tubers are called “Chinese Yams;” [the bot¬ 
anical name being Dioscorea Batatas;] they increase in 
size from year to year, are often two feet long at two or 
throe years of age, and run straight down in deep soil;— 
flesh whiter than superfine flour and equally as good for 
table use as the very best potatoes. 
When first Introduced the roots sold for $10.00 each. 
I have now grown this vine for 7 years; and have sent out 
many to every section of the country, and the only verdict 
is,—“One of the most desirable climbers in cultivation.” 
J. P. RUNG, Tyrone, Pa., says:—“The vine has 
grown about eighteen feet, and was very full of bloom, 
with a delicious odor, scenting tbe air for a long dis¬ 
tance. The foliage Is very much admired.” 
S. WILSON. Mechanlcsville, Pa. Nov. 27th. 1889, 
writes:—“We think the Cinnamon Vine Is one pf the 
most desirable house plants for winter: It blooms as 
freely in tbe house as out doors, and they can be 
trained over and around a window, and will flll a 
room with a delightful fragrance In the cold and 
dreary winter months.” 
JAS. E. BADJER; Jr., St. Joseph, Mo., says:—The 
Cinnamon Vine Is a success. From one stem a dozen 
branches have started, ranging from twelve to twenty 
feet each, and blooming profusely; very fragrant. ( 
PRICES OF THE CINNAMON VINE.
