The fruit of Wilder is surpassed in quality and appearance by that of others of Rogers' hybrids, but the vine is more reliable than in any other of these hybrid sorts, being vigorous, hardy, productive, and, though somewhat susceptible to mildew, as healthy as any. Wilder is not so well known in the markets as it should be, and, now that fungal diseases can be con- trolled by spraying, should be more commonly planted in commercial vineyards, especially for local markets. Wilder is one of the forty- five Labrusca-Vinifera hybrids raised by E. S. Rogers, Salem, Massachusetts, and was de- scribed first in 1858. vine vigorous, hardy, productive, susceptible to mildew Canes long, numerous, reddish-brown, darker at the nodes; internodes long; usually not lobed with terminus acute; petiolar sinus deep, narrow, often closed and overlapping; basal sinus lacking; lateral sinus shallow, narrow, or
