 finest perennial climbers of rapid growth with long racemes of beautiful 

 deep pink flowers. Sow in February to June into the open ground. Will 

 flower freely the first year.

 delicate flowers of clear canary yellow. Flowers resemble a bird with 

 expanded wings. Does well in the shade. Planted March to June.

KUDZU VINE. A leguminous vine somewhat resembling the Velvet Bean 

 in appearance. 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 

 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. Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.00.
