iz8 Catalogue of Varieties. 



WIZARD OF THE NORTH (Robertson). Medium, roundish oval, 

 dull red ; seeds on the surface ; flesh red, acid, soft, poor. Very 

 late. A Scotch variety. 



WONDERFUL (Jeyes). (Syn. Jeyes's Wonderful, and, according 

 to Downing, Myatfs Prolific, which see.) Fuller says it is a 

 large, irregular berry, firm flesh, high flavor, and a poor bearer. 

 According to Hogg it is large, conical, cockscombed, pale red, 

 whitish at apex; seeds numerous; flesh white, tender^ melting, 

 with a fine aroma. Resembles Hyatt's Surprise, but larger, 

 and more seeds. 



WOOD STRAWBERRY. Fragaria Vesca. (Syn. Common Rouge, 

 Des Bois a Fruit Rouge, English Red Wood, Netuland's Mam- 

 moth, Stoddard's Alpine, Washington Alpine, &c.) This is the 

 wild strawberry of Europe. Long more commonly cultivated 

 in our gardens than any other sort, and still perhaps the 

 easiest of cultivation, and one of the most desirable kinds. It 

 always bears abundantly, and though the fruit is small, yet it is 

 produced for a much longer time than that of the other classes 

 of strawberries, and is very sweet and delicate in flavor. 

 Flowers always perfect; fruit red, small, roundish ovate; seeds 

 set even with the surface of the fruit. It ripens at medium 

 season. (Downing.) Fig. in Jar. Mus. II. 



WYOMING. 



YELLOW CHILI (Williams). A cross of the Chili and Downton. 

 Long, irregularly oval, cockscombed, brown on the sunny side, 

 yellow on the other ; seeds brown, and slightly sunken ; flesh 

 yellowish, said to be firm ; buttery, with a rich acid flavor. 

 Originated in 1821. 



YOUNG'S SEEDLING. By some said to be a seedling from the 

 Hovey's Seedling, but probably only a synonym of the Hovey's.
