A New Early Peach.— The Early Beatrice, a seed- 
ling by Mr. Thomas Rivers, of Sawbridgeworth, England, 
20 days earlier than Hale's Early ; medium size ; high, bright 
Color; of good quality; flowers large; a profuse bearer; 
and possesses superior shipping qualities. I secured them 
from Mr. Rivers, Jan., 186*, having made a vovage to Eng- 
land for the purpose of securing some new and reliable va- 
rieties. The Early Beatrice fruited in my orchards last year. 
It also fruited abundantly this season on 2-year-old tree?. 
The fruit ripened the 8th of June ; was picked the 10th, and 
exhibited in Del. and Md. on the l3Mi and 15th. The last 
picking was shipped June 14ih, and exhibited in New York 
the 17tn and 19th. I respectfully refer to the following gen- 
tlemen who saw the fruit; Col. E. Wilkins, Chestertown, 
Kent Co., Md.; Mr. H. N. Will eta", Mid die town, Del. : Selser 
& Brother, Commission Merchants, No. 30 North VS harves, 
Philadelphia ; Romain &. Powell, 141 West-st., New York. 
60,000 trees of the Early Beatrice ready for Bale for the au- 
tumn of 1871, those who purchase now will truit them profit- 
ably before they come in general cultivation. They will not 
be sold iu small lots this season, not less than 1,000. The 
Proprietor, formerly of New Jersey, desires to call the spe- 
cial attention of his patrons to his catalogues of this season, 
in which will be set forth the advantages of his new location 
and superior stock of trees. A full and well-selected varie- 
ty of the staple kinds of Peach, Apple, and Pear trees, Grape- 
vines, and every tiling in the fruit line. 300 acres in orchards 
for marketing; also, large and extensive experimental or- 
chards. My orchards will be vearlv enlarged, hence every 
variety I shall propagate will be fruited and well known in 
market. 
Price of trees, Earlv Beatrice, $500 per M. Other vari- 
eties as low as at any other first-class Nursery.
