From a well- established root, viues will grow 40-60 ft. in a single season, producing a profusion of very large Ivs. In the North the plant dies to the ground in the winter, but in the South the top becomes woodj-. The large fleshy root being 4-5 ft. long. Georgeson writes of tlie plant in Japan: 'The roots are fleshy and yield starch of excel- lent quality; the touyh tiber of the inner bark is manu- factured into a sort of cloth which combines flueness with remarkable .strength; and in certain situations the vine is unparalleled for ornament and shade.' The fls. are borne on the old or woody stems, but these stems usually do not persist north of Philadelphia, and even rarely there. With age, the tops are more likely to survive the winter.

Pulmonarias are of easy cultivation, preferring light soil, not very dry, in open or partially shaded positions. They are readily propagated by division. Divide the ciumps every two or three years.
