STRAWBERRIES. 489 



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.

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

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 high musky flavour. 

 This is generally represented as a very bad bearer. It 

 appears to me, that defect arises principally from the

 scarcely be found. To remedy this, the runners should 

 be cut off before they have taken root, keeping the 

 plants free from this incumbrance. By adopting this 

 method, I have little doubt of this sort being rendered 

 productive. 



CLASS VI. Hautbois Strawberries* 



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

 rugose leaves, of thin texture ; the scapes tall and 

 strong ; the fruit middle-sized, pale, greenish white, 

 tinged with dull purple ; the seeds slightly embedded ; 

 tKe flavour musky. Hort. Trans. Vol. vi. p. 149.

 flesh buttery. This kind is a great bearer, and rather
