 let, Wilmofs Seedliug, Large Virginia, Late do., Wilmofs Im- 

 perial.} Very large, bluntly conical, irregular, light shining

 times buttery and rich ; at others poor. A cross of the Chili 

 and the Roseberry. Originated in England in 1821. Fig. in 

 Lond. Hort. Soc. Trans. VI. 392. 



WILSON'S ALBANY (Wilson). Large, irregularly conical, dark 

 crimson, extremely acid, only tolerably good when dead ripe ; 

 flesh crimson, exceedingly vigorous, productive, and hardy, 

 generally giving a good crop on any soil, whether raised in 

 hills or in beds. Fuller says the Wilson has done more to ad- 

 vance strawberry culture, in this country, than any other variety 

 that has appeared since the Hovey. This is true, but at the 

 same time it is not more than third rate in flavor, and it owes 

 its popularity to its great firmness, and its good behavior under 

 careless culture. It has been cultivated with much success at 

 the South as a winter crop, ripening in December. Originated 

 with John Wilson, of Albany, N. Y. Not much known before 

 1857. Fig. in Thomas's Am. Fruit Culturist, p. 421.
