18. Scarlet Chili. 



19. Lakol Blush Chili. 



20. Wilmot's Sl'PERb. — This showy fruit originated a few years ago with Mr. 

 VVihnot, a respectable fruit-grower for the London markets. It is one of the largest 

 and most splendid of the strawberry family ; but far inferior to some of the smaller 

 ones in flavor. Our drawing was taken by Mr. Hart, in the Nursery Garden of 

 Mr. Lee, of Hammersmith. All the varieties of Chili strawberries are large, and 

 abundant bearers. The last of them is an admired fruit. 



ALPINE AND WOOD STRAWBERRIES. 



2L American Alpine. 



22. PucLiric Alpine. 



23. White Alpine. 



21. Red Alpine, or Scarlet Alpine. 

 25. Red Wuod, or Comm.n Dutch. 



2G. White Wood, or White Dutch. All the varieties of Alpines are good ; the 

 kit four soits arc well known, and deserve a place in every garden. The first and 

 second vuiietics are excellent, but as yet less generally known. Most of them will 

 produce fine fruit from seeds of the same year's sowing, by which means they come 

 into bearing late in the season, when all other strawberries are over. 



HAUTBOIS STRAWBERRIES. 

 27. Black Hadtbois, or Neuy Hauthois. 



2S. Common Hautbois, or Hauthois, Old Hauthois, Original Hauthois, Musky, 

 DUrcious Hauthois. 



29. Prolific, or Conical Hauthois, Spring Grove, Sir Jos. Banks's, Douhlc Bearinr: 

 Musk, Regent's, Hermaphrodite, Hudso7i's Bay, Dwai-f, Saeonihe. 



30. Large Flat Hautbois, Bath, Weymouth, Formosa, White, Salter's, Louder's. 

 All the varieties of hautbois are esteemed for their fine musky flavor, and such 



varieties as become dark, almost approaching to black when ripe, are the highest in 

 flavor.

Gooseberry.— 7;/&ej Grossularia, et U. Uva-crispa, ct Rihes Cynoshatl, Linnccus, 

 —belong to the class and ord^cx Pentandria Mono>:yma, and rank under the natural 

 order Cacti. It is not, however, certain to which of these, the gooseberry of the 

 gardens is to be referred. Is a native of many parts of Europe, generally growing 

 in liiick jingly places. It is sufficiently naturalized, if not really indigenous to 

 Britain, to be admitted into all our native Floras. It is here generally found upon 

 old walls, and always near the habitations of man. The fruit was formerly in little 

 Chlcem ; still it is prolwhle, that it was one of the first cultivated fruits in Britain. 

 It has been, by cultivation, ir»:proved so much, tliat it bears, in a cultivated state..
