HARVEST, probably derived from a Saxon word signifying herb feast, is that season of the year when the corn is ripe and fit to be reaped and gathered into barns.

HARVEST-Fly, a large four-winged fly of the cicada kind, very common in Italy, and erroneously supposed to be a grasshopper. See CICADA, ENTOMOLOGY Index.

HARVEST-Home, denotes the feast often observed at the close of harvest, and also the song used on that occasion. See DECEMBER.
