Pinks and Carnations. They are 
also very fond of young plants of 
Laburnum in the shrubberies, and 
of Parsley in the kitchen-garden. 
The usual way of protecting Pinks 
and Carnations is by an invisible 
wire fence, or by a network of black 
worsted, supported at intervals by 
blackened wires; but the young 
plantations are generally protected 
by common netting supported by 
notched stakes. Some persons sow 
Parsley near their Carnations, in 
the hope that the hares will eat that 
in preference ; but it often proves 
injurious, as the smell of the Pars- 
ley attracts more hares than would 
otherwise discover the Carnations, 
and thus the Parsley being soon de- 
voured, the Carnations are com- 
pletely destroyed. 
Harr’s-Ear.—See Burievu‘rum. 
Hare’s-roor Fern. — Davdllia 
canariénsis.—A very curious exotic 
Fern, the roots of which grow out 
of the pot, and closely resemble a 
hare’s foot. It is a native of the 
Canaries, and should be grown in 
sand and peat. 
Hanrvt’s-roncue.—Scolopéndrium 
officindrum.—One of the handsomest 
of the British Ferns, from its broad 
tongue-shaped leaves. It grows in 
marshy places. It is called Scolo- 
pendrium from its roots bearing 
some resemblance to the little lumi- 
nous insect Scolopéndra eléctrica. 
Harcuet Vercu.—Coronilla Se- 
curiddca, now called Securigera 
Coronilla.—A coarse-growing hardy 
annual, which takes up a great deal 
of room, from its large, rough, and 
widely-spreading leaves and stems; 
while it can boast of little beauty 
in its single yellow pea-flowers. It 
will grow in any soil or situation. 
Havutm.—The dead stalks and 
leaves of peas, potatoes, &c. It is 
generally gathered up, and carried 
to the rubbish-heap to rot for ma- 
nure, or burnt. It is also sometimes 
used for covering the ground over

the roots of trees, &c., to keep out 
the frost. 
Hawkweev.—The plants properly 
called Hawkweed belong to the ge- 
nus Hieracium ; they have generally 
yellow flowers, and many of them 
are British weeds: the yellow Hawk- 
weed of the gardens (Tlpis barba- 
tus), and the red Hawkweed (Bork- 
hatsia rubra), are, however, quite 
distinct. They are both hardy an- 
nuals, which only require sowing 
in the open border; and one of 
which (the yellow) will stand the 
winter in the open ground without 
protection, if sown in autumn. The 
red-flowered kind is very apt to be- 
come drawn up with long slender 
stems, and requires staking and ty- 
ing to make it look well.—See Cre'- 
pis and Hrera‘cium. 
THawrtuorn. — Crate’ gus Oxya- 
cantha.—See Cratz\cus. 
Haze. — Coérylus Avellana. — 
The common Hazel is rather a fruit- 
tree than an ornamental shrub ; but 
it is sometimes grown in pleasure- 
grounds and geometric gardens, to 
form a shady walk. Walks of this 
kind were great favourites in the 
time of Elizabeth, and also in the 
Dutch gardens laid out in the time 
of William III. They are there- 
fore suitable in the gardens of Eliz- 
abethan houses, or of any mansions 
built in James I.’s style. They re- 
quire no particular care but planting 
the young trees in a loamy soil, giy- 
ing them, if possible, a little of that 
rich yellow soil generally called 
hazel loam, from its peculiar adapt- 
ation to this plant, and clipping and 
training the branches so as to make 
the walk form one continued bower. 
Hearr’s-Ease, or Pansy.—Most _ 
of the different kinds now in culti- 
vation have sprung partly from the 
wild kind, Viola tricolor, hybridized 
by some other species ; and as all the 
kinds, whether hybrids or species, 
vary very much when raised from 
seed, and as these varieties and hy-
