HARDENBERGIA. 



Herbaceous or shrubby greenhouse climbers (ord. 

 Legaminoaee), Propagation, by seeds, sown in 

 gentle heat in spring, or, more commonly, by 

 cuttings of the young lateral shoots, taken in April, 

 and inserted in a warm propagating case. Soil, 

 one part of loam, one part of peat, and one of dried 

 cow or horse manure rubbed through a sieve, 

 plenty of sand being added. The species named 

 below flower early in the year, and thus a warm 

 greenhouse temperature is desirable for them. 

 They may be trained to cover the rafters or pillars 

 of the conservatory, but some of the flowering 

 shoots should be loosened and allowed to hang 

 down, otherwise they present a rather stiff appear- 

 ance. The plants may be grown in pots, but the 

 best results are obtained when they are planted in 

 prepared beds. Shade is required in the hottest 

 weather. 



Principal Species: 



comptouiana, Mcli., pur.

HAREBELL. 



The popular name of Campanula rotundifolia. 

 The name Harebell is sometimes applied to Scilla 

 nutans. Hairbell is an alternative spelling. 



HARICOT. 



The ripe seeds of several Beans (Phaseoliis), 

 ciiirlly of varieties of P. vulgaris, the Dwarf French 

 Bean. They are more extensively grown on the 

 Continent than in Great Britain, where they do not 

 generally mature. 



HARPALIUM (.see HELIANTIU-S). 



HARTOGIA (of LINN-.-EUS). 



A nearly hardy evergreen shrub (ord. Celas- 

 triime), allied to Cassine. Propagation, by cuttings 

 of the ripened shoots in sandy soil in a close frame. 

 Soil, equal parts of peat and loam, with sand.

HART\VEGIA. 



Curious little epiphytal Orchids (ord. Orchid- 

 aceas) requiring stove heat. Propagation, by 

 division of the pseudo-bulbs. Equal parts of 

 broken crocks, live sphagnum moss, and fibrous 

 peat suit, and small pots or shallow pans only are 

 necessary. 



Principal Species :

HAWORTHIA. 



Succulent plants (ord. Liliacese). The leaves of 

 all the species are small and produced in rosettes. 

 The flowers are also small and inconspicuous, being 



HAMAMELIS JAPONICA (see p. 



green or dirty white in hue. They require a 

 greenhouse temperature, and answer to the same 

 general treatment as the Aloes, in which genus 

 many of the species have figured. The list below 

 is not an exhaustive one, but merely a selection of 

 the best known.
