"I lifxfi over & dnz(*n Tarieti-^s, Including tlils, amonc wliich 
■wore several novelties, aa well as those accepted a** 8Land:ird 
vaiicitiea. All were treated piccisely nlike. from the fiineot' 
sowing to tliat of fruiting. I tliink it ii moderate Kiatement 
to S!iv tliat the Conqneror was ten days earlier ihan any 
other in the parden. livcarlincss I do not, lefcrtotlic ripcn- 
Ins of a einu'Ie speciinQii, for the Conqueror ripened one 
friilt astonishingly early, bnt I mean that the vines of this 
would afford !i good table supply at least ten days before 
tliose of anv other variety. I would also add. that in cnlor, 
shape, and Quality, this variety was highly satisfactory."
