THE CONQ,UEROR. 
Ten days earlier tUan any otUcr variety 
known. 
Prof. Ttmrber. the well known editor of the Agrioiliiirtst, 
thU9 describes it: 
" I h:id over a dozen v:\iietlP8. including tliia. amouf; wlilch 
were sevcrnl noveltlfs, as well as those iicccpicd a^ Bi:ind;utl 
vnrietk'a. All were treated precisely alike, from the time of 
BOwlng to thiit of truithij;:. I think it ii moderate statement 
to say that the CoiiqiiL-ior was ten daj's earlier than any 
other in the ^jarden. Bv eavliness I do not i efer to the ripen- 
ing of a single specimen, for tlie Conqueror rip' ned one 
fruit asionishliiply carlv. but I mean that the vines of this 
would afford a L'uod table supply at least ti'u days before 
those of any other variety. I would also add. thai in cr)lur, 
■hape, and quality, this variety was higlily satislactory."
