It is over 50 years old ,and is in perfect order and was patented in 1862. Several of our friends purchased from a very innocent looking agent a supply of cinnamon bulbs, imported from the old country, which are to be placed in a flower pot, set in the house and in a few days they will jrrow and bloom and give off a halo Cf fragrance that would fill the whole bouse with the sweetest perfume and lrive out all the insects and flies. The plants are growing nicely, but the sweet smell hasn't made its ap pearance yet, but is expected in a few days, then a wholesale slaugh ter of window screens and doors is expected. While they may cost a lit tle more than screens, yet the deli cious smell more than compensates for the extra cost. We mifjht let your readers hear more about this wonder ful plant when they develop into per fection. C. H. Julian and J. H. Fen triss are clore observers of plant life, and it would be quite interesting to learn their views of the sweet smell ing plant. TRINITY NEWS Mrs. II. H.
