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 ex-President of the Massa- 

 chusetts 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 attrac- 

 tive. 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, and 

 many crimson fruit.
