HAMBURGH PARSLEY. Petroseli'num sati'vum, var. 

 latifo'lium. 



Use. This, known also by the name broad-leaved and 

 large-rooted Parsley, is cultivated for its root, which 

 attains the size of a middling parsnip, boiling exceedingly 

 tender and palatable. It is eaten both as a sauce to 

 flesh meat, and in soups, &c. 



Sowing. Sow at monthly intervals, from February 

 until the middle of June, thinly in drills nine inches 

 apart. The plants appear in about a month after sow- 

 ing, and require to be thinned to nine inches asunder. 

 Frequent hoeing is the only cultivation required. By the 

 end of July, or during August, the earliest sowings will 

 have acquired a sufficient size for occasional use ; but 

 the roots seldom attain their full growth until Michael- 

 mas ; and the latest crops not until the following year. 

 On the arrival of frost, some of them must be taken up, 

 and buried in sand, in a dry situation under cover. 



To save Seed. Some plants must be left where grown, 

 and allowed to run in May. Their produce will ripen in 

 July or August. Then to be cut, dried, beat out, and 

 stored.

 Cuttings of half-ripened shoots in sand, under glass, 

 and in a moist bottom-heat. Summer temp., when 

 growing, 60 to 80 ; in winter, when at rest, 48 to 55 ; 

 when in bloom, 55.

HAMMATO'PHORA BUCEPHALA or BUFF -TIP 

 MOTH. See PYG^ERA BUCEPHALA. 



HAMMERS for gardening purposes are made with a 

 clawed head, for drawing as well as driving in nails. 

 They are made of five different sizes, No. 5 being the 

 largest. Those are best with a stud in the centre of 

 the head, as this acts as a fulcrum in drawing nails, and 

 prevents bruising any branch beneath the hammer during 

 the operation.

HAND-BARROW. The most useful and most generally 

 used hand-barrow is like a shallow tray, built on two 

 long shafts, with two handles at either end, so that two 

 men or boys can carry it when loadeS. It has legs at the 

 four corners, so that it can be set down when loading 

 and unloading. The most common use to which it is 

 put is carrying pot plants to and from the potting benches, 



from one house to another, or carrying flowering plants to 

 the conservatory. Plants and pots are liable to damage 

 when put in a wheel-barrow for conveyance. Another 

 form with a cage below is useful for carrying leaves and 

 other litter ; and when the close, movable cover is on, 

 it serves as a conveyance for plants in large pots or tubs, 

 which, when in flower or bearing fruit, might be too 

 violently shaken in a wheel-barrow. 



HAND-GLASS is a portable glass-case used for shelter- 

 ing cauliflowers and other plants in winter, and during 

 early spring, or to retain a regular supply of moisture 

 to cuttings, or until they are rooted. The most durable 

 and convenient are made with cast-iron framing of 

 rectangular form. 



They are sometimes made with movable tops, fitted 

 with a handle ; but the only advantage it affords is, that 

 several of the lower portions may be placed upon each 

 other to protect any tall-growing shrub in severe weather, 

 otherwise they are more troublesome to move, and more 

 liable to breakage than if made entire. 



HAND PLANT. Cheiroste'mon. 



HAND-WEEDING might be banished almost from the 

 garden, if in the kitchen department all crops were in- 

 serted in drills. This is most desirable ; for the stirring 

 of the surface consequent to hoeing is much more bene- 

 ficial to the crops, and cannot be repeated too frequently. 



HANGING is when a plant is so badly inserted by the 

 dibble, that the lower parts of the roots are in an unfilled 

 hole, while the earth is pressed round their collar, so as 

 to keep them suspended upright in their place. 



HAPALTNE. (From hapalos, tender or soft; in 

 allusion to the softness of the spathe. Nat. ord. Araceae.) 



A stove herb, allied to Spathicarpa, from which it 

 differs by having the spadix free from the spathe. 

 Divisions in spring. Loam and peat, in equal parts, 

 both fibrous, sand and some lumps of charcoal. 

 H. Brow'nii (Brown's), i. Greenish-white. Malaya. 



HAPLA'NTHUS. (From haploos, simple, and anthos, a 

 flower. Nat. ord. Acanthaceae.) 



Stove perennial herb. Seeds ; and cuttings in sand 

 in a close case, with bottom-heat. Loam, leaf-mould, 

 and sand. 

 H. verticilla'ris (whorled). Lilac. July. India. 1822. 



HAPLOCA'RPHA. (From haploos, simple, and karpltos, 

 any light dried substance ; in allusion to the simple 

 pappus. Nat. ord. Compositas.) 



Half-hardy or greenhouse perennial herbs of showy 

 appearance. Seeds or cuttings. Light, well-drained soil 

 in a sheltered position, with a greenhouse in winter. 

 H. Leichtli'nii (Leichtlin's). -1. Yellow. S. Africa. 



1883. 

 sca0'sa(stemless). Yellow. S.Africa. Greenhouse. 



HAPLOPA'PPUS. (From haploos, simple, and pappos, 

 down ; the pappus is hi one ring. Nat. ord. Composite.) 



A hardy under-shrub. Seeds or cuttings under a 

 hand-light. Light, sandy soil. 



H. spinulo'sus (finely-spiny). 1-2. Bright yellow. 

 Rocky Mountains. 1874. 



HARDENBERGIA. (Named after the Countess of 

 Hardenberg, in Germany, sister to Baron Huegel. Nat. 

 ord. Leguminous Plants [Leguminosa?]. Linn. iJ-Dia- 

 delphia, ^-Decandria. Allied to Kennedya.) 



Greenhouse evergreen climbers, from Australia, with 

 purple flowers, except where otherwise mentioned. 

 Cuttings of the young side-shoots, a little firm at their 

 base, taken off in April, in sand, under a bell-glass, and 

 placed in a close frame or pit without bottom-heat ; 

 peat two parts, loam one part, with sand and a little 

 charcoal, to keep the compost open. They like a little 

 shade in the middle of summer, and a temperature of 

 40 to 48 in winter.
