JAPANESE KUDZU VINE. This beautiful, very rapid- 

 .growing vine comes to us from Japan. It succeeds well in 

 •every part of the United States and grows with great lux- 

 uriance. It is a most excellent vine for arbors or to produce 

 a tropical effect by growing over low trees; very valuable 

 for growing on rough, rocky land or steep hillsides. The 

 seeds are somewhat slow in germinating and a quicker re- 

 sult is obtained from planting the roots. These are imported 

 from Japan and are dry and not very satisfactory to handle, 

 hence advise the planting of seed and waiting for the result.
