Ten days eai-lirr lliaii any other variety 
known. 
Prof. Tlmrber, the well known editor of the Agriculturist, 
thus describes it : 
" I hiid over a dozen varieti'-s, including this, among which 
were several novelties, as wi.ll as those accepted as stiind;ird 
varieties. All were treated pix-cisely alike, from the time of 
sowing to that of fruiting. I think i'c n moderate statenient 
to say that the Conqueror was ten days earlier than any 
other in the KiU'den. By earlineaa I do not refer to the ripeii- 
ing of a sinirle specimen, for the Conqueror ript ned one 
friilt astonifiliinRly early, but I mean that tlie vines of this 
would afford a gDod table supply at least ten days before 
those of any other varietv. I would also add. that in color, 
shape, and qualitv, this variety was highly sutisfactory."
