HAMfiLIA (Henry Louis Duhamel du Jlonceau, 

 1700-17S2, prominent French botanical author). liubiA- 

 cecs. This yeuus oontaius a tender shrub with large 

 clusters oi: scarlet-orange Us. much prized in Fla., and 

 recently urged for northern conservatories under the 

 name of ".Scarlet Bush." About 13 species of tropical 

 and subtropical American shrubs, glabrous or pubes- 

 cent: lvs. opposite or in whorls of 3-4. petioled, ovate- 

 oblong, acute at both ends: tls. in terminal, 2-3-forking 

 cymes, yellow, reddish or scarlet, with pedicels short 

 or none; corolla tubular or almost bell-shaped, about 

 5-ribbed ; limb with 5 short lobes ; stamens 5 : ovary 

 5-celled: berries snudl, ovoid, 5-lobed. many-seeded', 

 lloffmania is distinguished by its 2-3-celled berry. 



ITamcUa 2''(itens, a native of the West Indies and S. 

 Florida, along the coast, a beautiful and almost unknown 

 plant, should become a favorite in greenhouse culture. 

 The Its. h.ave a purplish hue at some seasons of the 

 year, and the fls. are of a bright orange-red color. In 

 Florida it must surely become a favorite for open-air 

 planting, as it is there rarely killed down by frost, and 

 when it is it sprouts up readily from 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 shruli, 5-12 ft. in height. 

 The lis. are succeeded by handsome black berries, 

 which are retained a long while.

pS.tens, Jacq. Lvs. typically in 3's, rarely 2-5, more 

 or less villous-pubescent: cymes 2-3-forked, disposed 

 in a pedunculate, terminal umbel. B.]M. 2533.

sphserocdrpa, Ruiz &Pav. Lvs. in 3's, oblong, hirsute

HAEBINGEE OF SPRING. £r]genia hulhosa. 



HAEDENBfiRGIA (after Franziska, Countess of Har- 

 denberg. sister of Baron Huegel, a well known traveler.) 

 Leguiiii}ids<r. Three Australian twining herbs or sub- 

 shrubs, with long racemes of small lis., ranging from 

 white through pink and rosy purple to violet-blue, often 

 with 1 or 2 green or yelhiwish sinits on the standard. 

 The genus is told fr<-'m Kennedyatiy the different habit, 

 smaller, more numerous, ditferently colored lis., short 

 calyx teeth and by the k(.'cl. which in tlie 2 species de- 

 scribed below is nnu'h shorter than the wings. Both are 

 cult, abroad under glass by those who are skilled in 

 managing Australian woody pilants. The species first 

 mentioned is cult, outdoors in Calif. ; the second was 

 once otfered by John Saul, of Washington, D. C. These 

 plants can be trained into bush form. 3Ionograph in 

 Flora Australiensis 2:246 |lb64). 



A. leaflets soUtaru : pods flat, u-itJi drij pulp inside. 

 monophylla, Benth. Lfts. usually 2-3, or even 4 in. 

 long, obtuse, varying from broadly cordate-ovate to nar- 

 rowly lanceolate: fls. less than ^™ in. long, in 2's or 

 rarely 3's, as many as 35 in a raceme, and the upper ra- 

 cemes often forming a terminal panicle: p"d flat, with 

 dry, pithy pulp inside. B.2:,s4. B.Jl. 263, 21i;9. L.B.C.

 from white through rose and purplish to pure violet, 

 i'ut are never distinctly blue. Var. alba is cult. 



AA. Leaflets 3 or 5 : pod turgid, u-illiout pilli or pulp. 

 Comptoniina, Benth. Lfts. 3 or 5, and in the latter 

 case the side ones in 2 opposite pairs, which are not dis- 

 tant as in other 5-leafleted members of the tribe: fls. in 

 pairs or clusters of 3-4 along the racemes. B.R. 4:298,

 The fls. are said to have the same size, color and struc- 

 ture as in S. monophijlla , but in cultivation the blue or 

 violet-blue form has probably lieen most |>opular. Var.

HARDY PLANTS. The word "hardy" covers many 

 distinct ideas. It is useil to distinguish plants that can 

 lie cultivated outdoors the year round from pilants that 

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

 example, in this Cyclopedia ]ilants are spoken of as 

 hardy as far nortii as Wasijington, I). C., New York, 

 Boston or Montreal, meaning that the plarjts are not 

 killed by the \\'inters at these places. In its widest 

 sense, "hardy " indicates resistance to all kinds of un- 

 favorable conditions. Thus, while all the common ge- 

 raniums are tender plants, one variety may lie hardier 

 than another liecause it withstands intense heat and 

 drought and general neglect. In general, howe^'er, the 

 \inc[ualitied word "hardy" indicates that the ]ilant is 

 able to withstand the winter of the given place. >See 

 the avticAos Border 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 homo at Moreton Farm, near 

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

 fathers for several generations were farmers; it is, 

 tlierefore, but natural that he should have inherited a 

 keen interest in every- 

 thing pertaining to 

 rural life. From early 

 yiiuth he showed a re- 

 markable fondness for 

 investigidion and ex- 

 perimentation, in the 

 pursuit of which he 

 tound gratification by 

 his study of agricul- 

 tural chemistry with 

 Jlessrs. Lawes & Gil- 

 bert, on their famous 

 experiment farms at 

 Kuthamsted. It was 

 during this period that 

 lie laid tlie foundation 

 iif his future useful- 

 ness in the cause of 

 rationjd and scientific 

 ai:riculture and horti- 

 culture. In the year 

 1849 he came to Amer- 

 ica, and soon become 

 one o£ the foremost and most relialile writers for the 

 rural press. His "Walks and Talks on the Farm," 

 which appeared in the "Genesee Farmer" in 18G4-65, 

 attracted gener.al attention, and in 1866, when the 

 "Genesee Farmer" was purchased by the "American 

 Agriculturist," Jlr. Harris joined the editorial staff of 

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

 number up to 1876. After an intermission of eight years.
