 TURAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 



YOUELL and Co. have much pleasure in announc- 

 ing they are now supplying fine Canes of the above highly- 

 valuable and much-esteemed R \SPBERRY, unequalled for the 

 extraordinary size of its fruit and richness of flavour. 



Those to whom Y. and Co. sent it last season have expressed 

 their high admiration of its superiority over all other varieties, 

 and has been awarded several prizes from various Horticultural 

 exhibitions during the season. As a proof they have not exagge- 

 rated Its excellent qualities, fruit was submitted to Dr. Lindlkv, 

 (see Gardeners' Chronicle of the 22d July last, page 602), whose 

 opinion of it is as follows : — 



" Fastolfp RASPBKRar.— We have received from Messrs. 

 Youell, of Great Yarmouth, fruit of the FastoifT Raspberry* 

 and we find its merits all that has been stated in favour of its 

 excellence. The fruit that we have received is very large, ob- 

 tusely conical, and of rich flavour, far exceeding in this respect 

 some other new and large varieties. The plant* bear abundantly 

 and in long succession. " 



They also exhibited it on the 1st of August, 1643, before the 

 London Horticultural Society, 21, Regent-street, to which a 

 prize was awarded. It would therefore be unnecessary fair 

 TouJCLL andCo. to recommend it more fully, or with greater 

 confidence to the notice of the public, merely observing, that it 

 continues in blah perfection throughout the autumnal mouths, 

 and has maintained its superiority in the most unfavourable 

 soils and situations, and requires no other than the ordinary 

 treatment of the old varieties. 



Fine Canes are ready for delivery, and can be sent with safety 

 to any part of the United Ki-gdom (on the receipt of a Post* 

 office order), upon the following terms s - 



Packages containing 100 Canes .

Package included. 

 The usual discount to the Trade, when not less than 200 are 



ordered. 

 %* Cautiov.— Y- and Co. beg to call the attention of their 

 Friends and the Public in general to the fact that they have ap* 

 pointed no Agents in London for the Stile of the above, and can- 

 not be held responsible for its being genuine, unless purchased 

 direct from their Nursery.
