. Our garden flowers; a popular study of their native lands, their life histories, and their structural affiliations. Flowers. PEA FAMILY used it wherever a quick-growing vine was needed in their land- scape gardening. To us Kudzu is merely an ornamental plant, â but in Japan its roots are used for food; from the bast a thread is made; while the dried leaves and stems are food for cattle. Wistaria, Wist&ria chinensis, one of the best and commonest of hardy climbers, is a strong grower, long-lived and healthy. The foliage is pinnate and not suflBciently dense to afford a per- fect screen, but is airy and graceful. The flowers appear in long, drooping racemes of purplish pea-shaped blossoms. These rac- emes are often a foot in length. The Chinese Wistaria was introduced into England in 1816, and in 1840 there was a specimen recorded with branches attaining a hundred feet on each side of the main stem and another covering nearly a thousand square feet of wall space. The Wistaria used by the Japanese, which figures so largely in their decorations, is Wistaria muUifuga, which with us is often called sinen- sis; its clusters sometimies attain the length of three or four feet. This is not regarded as suffi- ciently hardy to become a favorite. The Soy Bean, Glycine hispida, and the Cow Pea, Vigna sinensis, both Chinese plants, are widely grown as forage plants. Alfalfa, Medicago satlva, is the deep-rooted forage plant of Europe so extensively grown in the arid regions of the United States. It grows about two feet high, bears pinnate leaves and small racemes of small, violet-purple, clover-shaped flowers. Cassia, Cdssia floribUnda, is a free-flowering plant with large orange-yellow flowers. It can be wintered in a dormant condition in a cellar or similar place where not exposed to severe frost, and planted in the spring. It will bloom throughout the summer and fall, producing the most dazzling effects by its profuse and brilliant bloom. The Peanut or Goober, A rcichis k
