 recently urged for northern conservatories under the

 Florida, along the coast, a beautiful and almost unknown 

 plant, should become a favorite in greenhouse culture. 

 The lvs. have a purplish hue at some seasons of the 

 year, and the fls. an- nf a briirlit orange-red color. In 

 Florida it must sun ly l.i .nmn n. favorite for open-air 

 planting, as it is tin n- lan ly l^illr.l down by frost, and 

 when it is it sprouts iii. r. lulily Ir.nu the root, and blooms 

 the following summer. It is in bloom for many months, 

 and without doubt could be forced at any season. 

 With age it becomes a woody shnib, 5-12 ft. in height. 

 The fls. are succeeded by handsome black berries, 

 which are retained a long while.

HARDY PLANTS. The word "hardy" covers many 

 distinct ideas. It is used to distinguish plants that can 

 be cultivated outdoors the year round from plants that 

 must be grown under glass part or all of the year. For 

 example, in this Cyclopedia plants are spoken of as 

 hardy as far north as Washington, D. C, New York, 

 Boston or Montreal, meanini; that the plants are not 

 killed by the wiiiier- at ihese places. In its widest 

 sense, "hardy " iiiili.aie^ n sistanee to all kinds of un- 

 favorable comliiion-. riiii-. wliile all 



than another because il wiihstamls intense heat and 

 drought and general iie-l..,i. In -. neral, however, the 

 unqualified word "lianl\ " in.li. ale- that the plant is 

 able to withstand the winter ol' the given place. See 

 the articles iJorrfer and Landscape Gardening. Smaller 

 divisions of the subject of Hardy Plants are discussed 

 under Alpine Gardens (including Rock Gardens) and 

 Aquatics (including Bog Plants).

HARRIS, JOSEPH (Fig. 1019), agricultural author, 

 was born June 29, 1828, in the village of Shawbury, 

 England, and died at his home at Moreton Farm, near 

 Rochester, N. Y,, Nov. 18, 1892. His father and fore- 

 fathers for several generations were farmers; it is, 

 therefore, but natural that he should have inherited a 



thing pertaining to 

 rural life. From early 

 youth he showed a re- 

 markable fondness for 

 investigation and ex- 

 perimentation, in the 

 pursuit of whieh he 

 found gratification by 

 his study of agricul- 

 tural chemistry with 

 Messrs Liwes & Gil

 experiment farms at

 which appeared in the ( ene ee i iimei m lS(,4-05 

 attracted general attention, and in 1866, when the 

 "Genesee Farmer" was purchased by the "American 

 Agriculturist," Mr. Harris joined the editorial staff of 

 this paper and continued his " Walks and Talks " in each 

 number up to 1876. Afteran intermission of eight years.
