STRAWBERRIES. 313 



Capron Femelle. Duhamel, No. 14. t. 8. 



DicBcious Hautbois. Old Hautbois. 



Musky Hautbois. Original Hautbois. 



Fruit rather small or middle-sized, spherical, of a pale 

 greenish white, tinged with dull purple. Seeds slightly em- 

 bedded ; flavour musky. The flowers called the males 

 produce occasionally a small imperfect fruit, with projecting 

 seeds. 



In the Cultivation of Hautbois Strawberries, it will be re- 

 commended that the plants called males should be wholly 

 rooted up as useless.

 Fruit nearly spherical, small, becoming dark puiple when 



ripe. Seeds prominent. Flesh greenish, firm, with a sepa- 

 rable core ; flavour good, with the aroma peculiar to the 

 class.

 215. 



Bath Hautbois. Salter's Hautbois. 



Formosa Hautbois. Weymouth Hautbois, 



liowder's Hautbois. White Hautbois, 



Fruit large, roundish, depressed, light red, and pale on 

 the under side. Flesh greenish, without core, juicy, but 

 though delicate, not so high-flavoured as the other. Seeds 

 embedded in the skin. 



35. Prolific or Conical Hautbois. Hoi't, Trans. 

 Vol. vi. p. 213. 



Double Bearing. Regent's. 



Dwarf. Sacombe. 



Hermaphrodite. Sir Joseph Banks's. 



Hudson's Bay. Spring Grove. 



Fruit large, conical, shorter and more obtuse than the 

 Black Hautbois ; the colour is dark, but not so deep as in 

 that. Seeds slightly embedded. Flesh solid, greenish, and 

 high-flavoured. A very abundant bearer; and it usually 

 produces a partial second crop, blossoming in August and 

 September, and the fruit ripening in October : the autumnal 

 berries are much larger than the summer ones, and never- 

 theless high-flavoured. This is by far the best of the Haut- 

 bois Strawberries ; the flowers the largest of the class yet 

 known, with numerous stamina.
