KUDZ U VINE — ( JACK-AND-THE-BE AN-STALK.)

 will cover space has made it a favorite with all who 

 have given it a trial. It is undoubtedly the most rapid 

 growing vine in cultivation, established plants fre- 

 quently producing' a growth 50 feet in height in a 

 single season. For covering arbors, porches, etc., it has 

 jio equal. Old plants bear small racemes of pea-shaped, 

 rosy purple flowers, -which are, however, of secondary
