Chinese Cinnamon Vine 
The Cinnamon Vine is one of the most satisfactory climbers. Its handsome 
foliage and fragrant, cinnamon-scented blossoms commend it to every lover of 
flowers. It is tuberous-rooted and, once planted, will grow a lifetime. | It is 
perfectly hardy, thrives on all soils, in sun or shade, wet or dry. No insects 
or blight ever trouble. Will quickly surround your windows, arbors and 
porches with a mass of vines, and profusion of small white flowers. 
While the Cinnamon Vine is grown mainly for its beauty and fragrant blos- 
soms, the tubers are edible, being most delicious when baked like Sweet 
Potatoes. x 
For windows, plant two on each side. For porches, walks, etc., plant 8 
inches or a foot apart, covering 2 inches. Furnish twine support for the vines.

bulbs should be planted in the open garden where
