HISTORY, ETC. 



This variety originated from a seed of the Fastolf, planted in the Spring of 

 1846. It was named in honor of my highly valued and distinguished friend, the 

 late President of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. It fruited in 1847, 

 the year after the seed had been planted. The Col. Wilder is one of the finest 

 flavored Raspberries, and a most profuse bearer. Its semi-transparent, glazed and 

 prominent pips, render its appearance peculiarly beautiful and attractive. Many 

 seedlings have been raised from this variety, some bearing fruit similar in every 

 respect to that of the parent, others fruit of a yellow color, not unlike the yellow 

 Antwerp arid many crimson fruit.
