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., 1S6 i, having made a voyage to Eng¬ 
land for the purpose of securing some new and reliable va¬ 
rieties. Tile Early Beatrice fruited ill my orchards last year. 
It also fruited abundantly this season on 2-year-old trees. 
The fruit ripened the 8th of June ; was picked the 10th, and 
exhibited in Del. and Md. on the 13th and 15tli. The last 
picking was shipped June 14th, and exhibited in New York 
the 17th and 19th. I respectfully refer to the following gen¬ 
tlemen who saw the fruit: Col. E. Wilkins, Chestertown, 
Kent Co., Md.; Mr. If. N. Willets, Middletown, Del.; Selser 
& Brother, Commission Merchants, No. 30 North wharves, 
Philadelphia; Domain & Powell, 141 West-st., New York.

tumn of 1S71, those who purchase now will truit them profit¬
