SHILLING'S EARLY GROTTO PEA. 



THE above PEA possesses advantages over every 

 other for autumn sowing, being quite hardy, very prolific, 

 and much larger than any other early Pea. See Gardeners' 

 Chronicle, 25th of last May. w Mr. Shilling has sent us speci- 

 mens of his New Early Grotto Pea, which were gathered on the 

 -Oth inst. He states that these were produced from seed sown 

 in the open ground on the 25th of last November. Judging 

 from the specimens sent, this is a fine, large, good-looking Pea, 

 and will, no doubt, be found to be a very useful early variety." 



To the Market Gardener they will be found invaluable. 

 Price is. 6d. per quart, 105. per peck. 



SHILLING'S QUEEN CABBAGE, which gave such general 

 satisfaction last year, as the best early variety grown. Having 

 saved a considerable quantity of seed this summer, it is offered 

 °n the following advantageous terms: — 1*. 6tf. peroz., 16*. p. lb.

 HOSEA WATERER, and that at BAGSHOT by JOHN WA-

FASTOLFF RASPBERRY. 



JOHN BELL begs to refer the readers of the Gar- 

 deners' Chronicle to his Advertisement last week of the 

 above Raspberry, which may also be had true of the following 

 Nurserymen: — Mr. W. Catlkuoh, Hans-place, Chelsea; Mr. 

 W. Moork, Dereham; Mr. Bishop, Wacton j and Mr. J. W. 

 Nutting, Seedsman, 46, Cheapside, London. 



Messrs. Youei.l and Co., of the Yarmouth Nursery, having 

 stated in their Advertisement of last week that the Raspberry 

 they call the Fastolff can only be had true of them or their 

 Agents, J. Bell feels bound, in justice to himself and other 

 Nurserymen whom he serves with the above, to state that he has 

 had his Canes the last three seasons from the rame persons 

 Yor/BLL and Co. have had theirs from ; and that the above 

 Raspberry is not so exclusive as Messrs. Y. and Co. wish the 

 public to believe, as it is grown in almost every cottage and 

 gentleman's garden a f Burlin^ham, Lingwood, Acle, Rollesby, 

 Ormesby, Hemsby, Filby, and all the adjoining parishes in that 

 part of Norfolk; Ormesby and Filby being the two parishes 

 from which Yotjell and Co., and myself, have had nearly all 

 the stock. J. B. believes the Raspberry first originated in the 

 garden of W. Jary. Esq., Burlir.ghai:i, from which gentleman's 

 garden J. Bell's first canes were procured. The Raspberry is 

 generally known about these parts as the Filby Seedling. 



Bracondale Horticu ltural Establishment. Norwich. 



rpHE FILBY, or FASTOLFF RASPBERRY.— 



JL At the request of son^e gentlemen living in the neighbour- 

 hood of Yarmouth, T. RIVERS begs to submit the history of 

 this really excellent Raspberry to the public. In the year 1814 

 Colonel Lucas, of Filby, a place lying between Norwich and 

 Yarmouth, discovered a Raspberry plant growing under an old 

 Laurel hedge in his garden. His attention was drawn to it, 

 and he soon found it to be a superior and delicious variety, so 

 that in a short time every other sort was ejected from his 

 garden, and this alone cultivated. It was not, however, till 

 1824 that he allowed his gardener to part with it, who then gave 

 canes to his neighbours, and by this means it got to be culti- 

 vated in Caistor, Ormsby, and, in fact, in all the neighbour- 

 hood, under the name of the Filby Raspberry, to the exclu- 

 sion of all other sorts. It has latterly often been called the 

 Caistor Raspberry, from the Market Gardeners growing it in 

 that parish. In Caistor is an old castle in ruins, that formerly 

 belonged to the Fastolff family : the latter name was given to 

 the variety by YouKLLand Co., when they first began to sell the 

 cane?. The fruit upon which Dr. Lixdlkt pronounced his 

 opinion was gathered in the Filby garden, now the property of 

 the Rev. G. Lucas, who authorises and permits the publication 

 of the above facts; and has also permitted his Gardener to 

 supply the Canes after this date to T. RIVERS only. 



Canes are sold at 30s. per 100, or 65. per score, carriage paid 

 to London. Charge for package, for small parcels, 6rf., for 

 large do., is. to is. 6d. Orders to any amount can be executed. 

 The Trade price will be given on application.

TULIPS, HYACINTHS, RANUNCULUSES, ANEMONES, 

 GERANIUMS, AURICULAS, CARNATIONS, and LILIUM 

 LANCIFOLIUM. 



H GROOM, Clapharo Rise, near London (removed 

 • from Walworth), by Appointment Florist to Her 

 Majesty tiik QUEEN, and to His Majesty the KING OF 

 SAXONY, begs to recommend to the attention of the Nobilit; 

 Gentry, and Public his extensive assortment of the ab >ve 

 Flowers, which, from the success he has had in their cultiva- 

 tion, he can offer at very moderate prices. He particularly 

 wishes to call attention to the highly-flattering remarks on his 

 Exhibitions of Tulips and Lilium lancifultum this season, in the 

 various papers. He is also desirous of reminding the Nobility, 

 Gentry, and Amateurs, who may wish to add to their collections 

 or ornament their parterres with these beautiful flowers, that 

 this is the best season to make a selection. The varieties of the 

 splendid Lilium lancifolium are particularly adapted for par- 

 terres, as, besides being quite hardy, they flower at a time when 

 the Nobility and Gentry are at their country seats, and when 

 flowers are so much wanted. They only require to be known 

 to be universally cultivated. Catalogues can be forwarded by 

 post on applicati on. Foreign orders executed. 



BAGSHOT NURSERY, SURREY. 



JOHN WATERER begs to call the attention of the 

 Nobility, Gentry, and Public, to his unlimited collection of 

 AMERICAN PLANTS, which are this season unusually well 

 set with bloom buds, particularly those for forcing, comprising, 

 —Rhododendrons, Kalmias, Aaaleas, Andromedas, Ledums, 

 Daphne cneorum, &c. Also those of larger sizes, among which 

 may be had Rhododendron, Catawbiense, and many other fine 

 varieties ; Kalmia latifolia, Magnolias, of sorts ; Azalea coccmca 

 major, and aurantia, &c, &c, from 3 to 6 feet, which are fine 

 objects for single specimens or borders, being bushy to the 

 ground. J. W. begs to recommend his unrivalled Stock of 

 Cedars of Lebanon, 18 inches to 4 feet ; also about 200, 4 to 9 

 feet, bushy to the ground, very handsome for Lawns ; the whole 

 of them warranted to move »afelf- Also about 6000 Spanish 

 Chesnnts, 4 to 6 feet { 50,000 Larch Firs, 2 to 4 feet ; 50,000 Birch, ; 

 3 to 4 feet ( the whole of which may be had at moderate 



prices. N.B.— Planting done by contract. ,»__

TO THE PLANTERS OF ENGLAN D.— TRUE HIGHLAND 



PINE. 



JAMES GRIGOR, Nurseryman. Norwich, begs to 

 remind sueii of the Planters «f England as are an* is to 

 enhance the beauty and vahie of their estate?, that he is now 

 sending out plants of this recently Introduced and very desir- 

 able timber-tree, at the uuderment aed prices : — 



Single plants, strong and 1 rooted . . 6rf. each. 



Strong plants, M inches high . . . Sx. per lot. 



Do. 18 n ... 3os. per looe. 



Smaller-sized plants . . from 10*. to 20*. „ 



For introducing this tree Messrs. Grh.or, of Elgin and 

 Torres, were awarded several premium* by the Highland and 

 Agricultural Society of Bootland, where it is rapidly superseding 

 the common Pine. In its old age it assu s inagreat measure 

 the darksome grandeur of the Cedar of Lebanon, ami is there- 

 fore invaluable lor planting in masses throughout the more 

 prominent parts of distant landscapes. Sir Walter Scott 

 describes it as presenting much oi ,4 the bold and contorted 

 figure of the Oak;" and the Quarterly Rei commends it 



as an acquisition to churchyards and cemeteries. It is highly 

 esteemed for all economical purposes, on account of the hard- 

 ness and durability of its wood. 



N.B.— J. Q, has for the present poted of all his potted 

 plants ; but as the others have exc* *ts, thtn no risk 



in removing them. A supply In poti will be rea in the course 

 of next month.
