Judges.— The Judges have the power of increasing or diminish- 

 ing the number and value of the silver medals offered by the 

 Society for particular objects, and also of conferring Silver Medals 

 or Certificates in cases not contemplated iu these regulations, if 

 they think it necessary to do so. f 



The Judges are also required to bear in mind that the Society s 

 Medals are offered less for new and curious objects, than for fine 

 specimens of Horticultural skill, the design vf the Council in 

 instituting these meetings being not so much to encourage the 

 collector as to reward the skilful Gardener ; they are also not to 

 make any award in c^ses where the objects exhibited do not 

 appear worthy of a Medal ; otherwise a bad sinple exhibition 

 might obtain a prize, merely because there is no better exhibition 



of the same class to oppose if. . !".__. 



Copies of the above list may be obtained at 21, Regent- street, 



upon application to the Secretary. 



FASTOLFF RASPBERRY. 



! 



PATRONTSFD BY HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE 

 Ql'FFV HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF RUTLAND THE 

 MOST NOBLE THE MARQUIS OF AILSA, THE EARL 

 OF HARRINGTON, THE EAKL OF LIVERPOOL, THE 

 LORD BI?HOP OF LONDON, LORD VISCOUNT LORTON, 

 LORD SONDES, &c. Sec ; as well as by the HORI 'CUL- 

 TURAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 



YOU ELL and Co. have much pleasure in announc- 

 ing they are now supplying Fine Canes of the abpveh.ghly- 

 valuable and inuch-esteemed RASPBERRY, 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 beer, awarded several prizes from various Horticultural 

 exhibitions during the season. As a pro:>f they have not exagge- 

 rated its excellent qualities, fruit was submitted to Dr. Lindlev, 

 (sec Gardners' Chronicle of the 2 2d July last, [page 502), whose 

 opinion of it is as follows:— - ■'• 



•• Fastolfp Raspberry.— We have received from Messrs. 

 Youell, of Great Yarmouth, fruit of the Fastolff Raspberry, and 

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

 lence. The fruit that we have received is very large, obtusely 

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

 other new and large varieties. The plants bear abundantly, and 



in long succession." ,. 



They also exhibited it on the 1st of August, 1S43, before the 



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



prize was awarded. It would therefore be unnecessary for 



Youell and Co. to recommend it more fully, or with greater 



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



continuesin high perfection throughout the autumnal months, 



and has maintained its superiority in the most unfavourable 



soils and situations, and requires no other than the ordinary 



treatment of the old varieties. -.«*!"»

 office order), upon the following terms :—

 *»* Caution*.— 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 sale of the above, and can- 

 not be held responsible for its being genuine, unless purchased 

 direct from their Nursery.
