They should be grown in a moderately shady place, as the sun burns foliage when wet, making brown spots appear. If planted in frames they will thrive admirably and produce their lovely flowers from June to September. After planting the bulbs in a mixture of fibrous peat, light loam, manure and sand in equal parts, they require but little heat or water until they show signs of growth, when the quantity of moisture and heat may be increased.

They should be grown in a moderately shady place, as the sun burns foliage when wet, making brown spots appear. If planted in frames they will thrive admirably and produce their lovely flowers from June to September. After planting the bulbs in a mixture of fibrous peat, light loam, manure and sand in equal parts, they require but little heat or water until they show signs of growth, when the quantity of moisture and heat may be increased. Air should be plentifully supplied to prevent damping off. When the plants have done blooming dry off gradually, and keep in pots over winter in a moderately warm place, or under the staging of a green-house. Each, 20c; per doz., CINNAMON VINE. This beautiful climber possesses the rare quality of emitting from its flowers the odor of the Cinnamon. Per- fectly hardy, the stem dying down every autumn, but growing so rapidly in the spring as to completely cover a. trellis or arbor very early in the season. As easy of culture as the " Madeira Vine," has no insect enemies, and is not affected by drouth. Planted near a door or window, and trained over and about it, makes an ornament worthy of the admiration of all. One of the most desirable climbers in cultivation. Each, 10c; per doz., 65c.
