> 	1. La Biche (1832)
> 	2. Frazer's Pink Musk (found Noisette)
> 	3. Al Moise (found Tea-Noisette)
> 	4. Natchitoches Noisette (found)
> 	5. Deschamps (1877)
> 	6. Fellenberg (prior to 1835)
> 
> These are the varieties I have a principal interest in for which I have

already

am

> Crepuscule.
> 
> My next question will be on Hybrid Musks which might thrive in Houston.
