Conical Hautbois, Musk Hautbois, Double Bearing, Caperon Royal, Lafayette (of some,) La Grange (of some.) Of all the Hautbois or high-wood class of straw- berries, this we regard as the only one worth culti- vating ; and even this is only adapted to private gardens of those who relish its peculiar musky fla- vor.
