KUDZU VINE.—A leguminous vine some- 
what resembling the Velvet Bean in ap- 
pearance. It is perennial and comes from 
the root each spring and makes as much 
growth by about the first of May as the 
Velvet Bean makes in an entire season, 
and that on ordinary soil, without fertilizer 
of any kind. When once established, Kudzu 
thrives as well on the poorest sandy up- 
land as on the best lands. It gathers nitro- 
gen from the air and consequently is a soil 
improver. Kudzu may be cut from two to 
four times during the season or pastured.
