bers of white blossoms emit a delightful cin- 
namon-like odor, We know of no other vine

an arbor trellis, wall or fenee for shade or 
screen purposes. It will thrive anywhere and 
when once established will grow for years.

60 cets.; 6 for $1.00; 12 for $1.50, postpaid.

cottage in a single season, It is a 
very pretty thing to use for shad-

leaves are brilliant, glossy green.
