118 SMALL FRUIT CTTLTT/BIST. 



bois, Musky Hautboia, cfcc.) Medium, roundish or ovate* 

 reddish green, strong musky flavor ; fruit stems project- 

 ing above the leaves. Hence the name Hautboy or High- 

 wood. 



There are several varieties, the difference between them 

 being very slight. The most common are : 



Black Ha Ut bo IS, Medium, ovate, dark reddish brown, 



Globe HailtboiS. Roundish ovate, reddish green. 



Long Fruited Muscatelle, Oblong, rather small, late. 



Prolific HailtboiS. (Double Searing, Hermaphrodite, 

 Regenfs Dwarf, Sacombe, Sir Joseph Banks, Coperon 

 Royal* t&c.) Conical ; large for this class ; flowers quite 

 large. One of the best. 



Monstrous Hautbois, New. Said to be very large for 

 one of its class. There is a variety being disseminated 

 under this name, which does not belong to the Hautbois 

 species. 



The Hautbois varieties are very little cultivated in thia 

 country, as there are very few Americans who like their 

 peculiar musky flavor.
