SMALL FRUIT CULTURIST. 



bois, Musky Hautbois, <&c.) 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 Hunt hois. Medium, ovate, dark reddish brown. 



Globe Hautbois, Roundish ovate, reddish green. 



Long Fruited Muscatelle. Oblong, rather small, late. 



Prolific Hautbois. (Double I! ear ing. Hermaphrodite, 

 Regent's Dwarf, Sacombe, Sir Joseph Banks, Caper on 

 Royal, <fcc.) Conical; large for this class; flowers quite 

 large. One of the best. 



Monstrous IfautboiS. 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 this 

 country, as there are very few Americans who like their 

 peculiar musky flavor. 



REJECTED VARIETIES.

 by the American Pomological Society in 1858. It is to be
