CLASS IV. CHILI STRAWBERRIES. 



The leaves of this class are very villous, hoary, with 

 small leaflets of thick texture, with very obtuse serratures ; 

 the fruit is very large and pale, with prominent seeds ; the 

 flesh in the type, which is the true Chili, is insipid.

The early fruit is very large, irregular, sometimes cocks- 

 comb-shaped ; afterwards they are invariably round, very 

 hairy, pale scarlet, and polished ; the seeds are brown and 

 projecting ; flesh very firm, pale scarlet near the outside, 

 but whitish within, with a small hollow in the centre, and 

 a core ; flavor good, buttery, and rich, mixed with acid. 

 This variety is but very little cultivated for the market, or 

 for any other purpose near Boston. It is here found to be 

 unproductive generally. Outcast, lately, by Mr. Thomp- 

 son, from the garden of the London Horticultural Society. 



CLASS V. GREEN STRAWBERRIES. 



The French cultivate several varieties of this straw- 

 berry. The Green Pine is much known in England, but 

 it seldom bears perfect fruit ; it bears well only in some 

 particular situations. Their character is dwarfish, much 

 resembling the Wood strawberry. The leaves are light 

 green, and strongly plaited. Barnet, Vol. vi. Lond. Hort.

Lindley has described the GREEN STRAWBERRY, (Fral- 

 sier Vert,) Caucasian, Green Alpine, Green Wood, Pine- 

 Apple, but ascribes their defection to the multitude of 

 runners, and has no doubt but if these were restrained, 

 they would prove productive. 



CLASS V. HAUTBOIS STRAWBERRIES. 



The leaves of this class are highly elevated, rough, and 

 of a thin texture ; the scapes or stems tall and strong ; the
