Wirson’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.
