312 STRAWBERRIES. 



varieties of this Strawberry ; the one at present much known 

 with us is called the Green Pine, which, generally speaking, 

 is kept in gardens more as an object of curiosity than of use, 

 for it rarely produces perfect fruit, though in some particular 

 situations it bears well. 



In general character the plants are akin to the Wood 

 Strawberry ; its habit is dwarf; the leaves light green, and 

 strongly plaited. Hort. Trans. Vol. vi. p. 149. 



30. GREEN STRAWBERRY. Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 85. 



Fraisier Vert. Duliamel, No. 17. t. 9. 



Caucasian. Green Wood. 



Green Alpine. Pine Apple. 



Green Pine. Powdered Pine. 



Fruit small, globular ; of a whitish green when fully ripe, 

 and tinged with a reddish brown on the sunny side. Flesh 

 firm, of a rich and highly musky flavour. This is generally 

 represented as a very bad bearer. It appears to me, that 

 defect arises principally from the multitude of its young run- 

 ners ;* they are extremely slender, short-jointed, covering 

 the ground so completely, that in a few months the mother 

 plants can scarcely be found. To remedy this, the runners 

 should be cut off* before they have taken root, keeping the 

 plants free from its encumbrance. By adopting this me- 

 thod, I have little doubt of this sort being rendered pro- 

 ductive. 



CLASS VI. Hautbois Strawberries. 



The character of this class is to have tall, pale green, ru- 

 gose leaves, of thin texture ; the scapes tall and strong ; the 

 fruit middle-sized, pale, greenish white, tinged with dull pur- 

 ple ; the seeds slightly embedded ; the flavour rnusky.

31. BLACK HAUTBOIS. Hort. Trans. Vol. vi. p. 213. 

 New Hautbois. Ib. 



Fruit conical, more lengthened than in the prolific Haut- 

 bois ; of a very dark, dingy purple colour, when ripe. Seeds 

 scarcely embedded ; flavour high, and flesh buttery. This 

 kind is a great bearer, and rather earlier than the others, oc- 

 casionally producing a few berries in the autumn. It is a 

 very valuable variety.
