KUDZU VINE — A leguminous vine somewhat 

 resembling the Velvet Bean in appearance.

 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 upland as on the best lands. 

 It gathers nitrogen from the air and conse- 

 quently is a soil improver. Kudzu may be cut 

 from two to four times during the season or 

 pastured. Plant February to July.
