430 History of Garden Vegetables. 
The Indian and other names that have been applied to this plant 
are as follows :— 
English, Ground-nuts, Winslow,! Wild Bean; French of the 
western prairies, pomme de terre ;? Carolina Indians, scherzo ;* New 
Jersey Indians, Aupmiss or hopniss;* Osage Indians, taue;* Sioux 
Indians, modo ;*° Virginia Indians, openauk.° 
Hedgehog. Onobrychis cristagalli Lamk. 
This singular plant is grown in vegetable gardens as a curiosity, 
on account of the peculiar shape-of the seed pods. It has no util- 
ity. Its seed appears in some of our seedsmen’s lists. 
The hedgehog or cockscomb sanfoin is called in France herrisson ; 
in Germany, igel.’ 
Hop. Humulus lupulus L. 
As a garden plant the hop is nearly unknown in this country. 
In Belgium, however, the young shoots of the plant, just as they 
emerge from the ground, are used as an asparagus, and the plant is 
enumerated by Vilmorin among kitchen vegetables.” The plant is 
found in a wild state throughout all Europe, and extends also to 
the Caucasus, the south Caspian region, and through central and 
southern Siberia to the Altai mountains, and has been introduced 
into North Amierica, Brazil and Australia. As a plant for pro- 
ducing hops to be used in the brewing of beer it has long been in 
use. Hop gardens are mentioned as existing in France and Ger- 
many in the eighth and ninth centuries. In America they are - 
noted in Virginia in 1649, and were among the articles sent the 
Massachusetts company in 1629." The first allusion that I find 
to the hop as a kitchen herb is by Cobbett, in 1821, but the use 
of the young shoots is mentioned by Pliny™ in the first century
