KUDZU VINE — A leguminous vine somewhat resem- 

 bling the Velvet Bean in appearance. It is peren-

 and that on ordinary soil, without fertilizer of any 

 kind. When once established Kudzu thrives as 

 well on the poorest sandy upland as on the best 

 lands. It gathers nitrogen from the air and con- 

 sequently is a soil improver. Kudzu may be cut 

 from two to four times during the season or 

 pastured. Plant February to July.
