PRESIDENT, OR PRESIDENT LINCOLN (Plattman). American. 
New, and little known. 
PRESIDENT WILDER (De Jonghe). New, 1868. Figured in the 
foreign catalogues for 1868-9, and described as large, oval or 
conical, with a long and very distinct neck; varnished crimson. 
red; seeds yellowand prominent; flesh firm, red, veined with 
rose, sweet, and perfumed. Vines dwarf, hardy, very produce, 
tive, and late. Said to surpass La Constante. The shape is 
very different from that of the next variety. 
PRESIDENT WILDER (Wilder). A cross of La Constante and 
Hovey’s Seedling, and retaining the good qualities of both va- 
rieties. Fruit large to very large, many specimens in 1868 and 
1869 weighing an ounce each; roundish, obtusely conical;-- 
always uniform and regular; bright crimson scarlet; seeds yel- 
low, and near the surface; flesh rosy white, firm, juicy, rich, 
and exquisitely flavored with a faint, hardly perceptible, Haut- 
bois taste. The plant is of dwarf, compact habit, with strong, 
healthy leaves on stout foot-stalks; vigorous and productive. ¢ 
One year old plants, not allowed to make runners, sometimes’ 
send up four fruit-stalks. -The foliage resembles that of the 
Hovey more than that of La Constante, and in the nine years’ 
trial it has had, has never burned. The fruit borrows its shape, 
and much of its beauty, from La Constante, and it is alrnost im- 
possible to find a misshapen berry. My first plants were set in 
only moderately good soil, September 21, 1868, and they gave 
me a very good crop in 1869. It originated with M. P. Wilder, 
- of Dorchester, Mass., in 1861, and was selected as the best re- 
sult he has obtained from many thousand seedlings in thirty 
years’ continual experimenting, and is the most promising new 
strawberry now before the public. Fig. in Tilton’s Jour. of 
Hort. 1869, p- 1.
