OUELL & CO. have much pleasure in announcing 



JZLJUZ* &T a cnab J ed to su Pnly fine Canes of the above highly 

 x aluable and much esteemed Ra.pberry, unequalled for the 

 extraordinary- size of its fruit, and richness of flavour. 



n,I- if e u Wh ° m T' and Co * sent ^ Jast season have expressed 

 their high admiration of its superiority over all other varieties, 



VIOL?* C l° awarded several prizes at various Horticultural 



SI! 1a -^ S dunn £ thc season « As a Proof they have not exag- 

 derated its excellent qualities, Fruit was submitted to Dr. 



,S • (S - Ce Openers' Chronicle of the2?d July, 1S43, p. 502), 

 whose opinion of it is as follows :— > v i> 



vr„ FASTO, V F ^ RASPBER,iy -- We hare received from Messrs. 

 ««h «i L ^°J .? reat Yarmouth, fruit of thc Fastolff Raspberry, 

 and j e find it merits all that has been stated in favour of its 



flfi ence : T he 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 plants bear abun- 

 dantly, and in long succession." 



tZ-h 6 / a lT exhibited it on the 1st of August, 1843, before the 

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



Fyhfh^ a nn a o W , a ri ed5a , nd x a F ain at the Horticultural Society's 

 Exhibition at Ch.svvick, July 13, 1S44, and maintained its high 



character by having a Certificate of Merit awarded it. It would 

 nZl < n unnece ,_ ss arv for Youkll and Co. to recommend it 

 more fully, or with greater confidence to the notice of the 

 public merely observing that it continues in high perfection 

 throughout the autumnal months (vide Gardeners' Chronicle, 

 lytu mst., page 703), 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 Kin S dom upon the following terms • -

 Youkll and Co. feel it due to themselves to state that a sou- 

 nous kind was offered for sale by other parties last season 

 under the title of "Fastolff Raspberry," the same having no 

 pretensions to the genuine variety; and to obviate a repetition 

 the like they have appointed the following Nurserymen 

 and Seedsmen as their Agents for the sale of it, at whose
