The sketch of Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, late President of the 

 American Poraological Society, given herewith, has been made up from 

 an obituary which appeared in the Boston Journal, from a memorial 

 in the report of the Michigan Horticultural Society, and from the 

 funeral discourse of Rev. Edward N. Packard. The dates have 

 been carefully collated with records, and are believed to be correct. 

 Following, this a few extracts are made from reports and transactions 

 of kindred societies to our own, on subjects of interest to Maine fruit 

 growers, florists and horticulturists.
