THE STRAWBERRY. 



1007 



White Wood. 



This is precisely similar in all respects to the Red Wood, except in 

 its color, which is white. It ripens at the same time. 



HAUTBOIS * STRAWBERRIES. 



Belle de Bordelaise. 



A new variety. Plants very vigorous and productive. 

 Fruit medium or large, ovate, deep rich crimson. Flesh firm and 

 high-flavored. 



Prolific or Conical. 



Musk Hautbois. Double Bearing-. Sir Joseph Banks. 



French Musk Hautbois. Caperon Royal. Caperon Hermaphrodite. 

 Sacombe. Regent's Dwarf. 



This is a capital variety. Its strong habit and very large, usually 

 perfect flowers, borne high above the leaves, distinguish it. The fruit 

 is very large and fine, dark-colored, with a peculiarly rich, slightly 

 musky flavor. It bears most abundant crops. Hermaphrodite. 



Fruit large, conical, light purple in the shade, dark blackish purple 

 in the sun. Seeds prominent. Flesh rather firm, sweet, and excel- 

 lent. It ripens tolerably early, and sometimes gives a second crop. 



The Common Hautbois, Globe, Large Flat, &c, are scarcely worthy 

 of cultivation here. 



Royal Hautbois. 



This is one of the largest, most vigorous, and prolific of the Hautbois 

 family. 



Fruit medium to large, roundish conical, regular. Seeds yellow, 

 on the surface, rich dark crimson. Flesh whitish, soft, sweet, rich. 



CHILI STRAWBERRIES. 

 True Chili. 



Patagonian. Greenwell's New Giant. Greenwell's French. 



Fruit very large, bluntly conical or ovate, dull red. Seeds dark 

 brown, projecting. Flesh very firm, hollow-cored, of a rather indifferent 

 sweet flavor. Ripens late. 



Wilmot's Superb. 



An English seedling, raised from the foregoing, very showy in size, 

 but indifferent fruit and a poor bearer. 



Fruit roundish, sometimes coxcomb-shaped; surface pale scarlet, 

 polished; seeds projecting. Flesh hollow, and of only tolerable flavor. 

 Medium season. 



* Haut-bois, literally high-wood, that is, wood strawberries with high leaves 

 and fruit-stalks.
