 state that the above unequalle laspbrrry is to be obtained 

 only at their Nursery or of their A£ its, a list of whom appear 

 on the Advertising Sheet of this day Gardeners' Chronicle ; and 

 they recommend their friends to cautious of whom they 

 purchase, as another Raspberry, under the above title has been 

 substituted by certain parties as the "true variety."

r |MIE TRUE FASTOLFF RASPBERRY— In last 



-L week's •denert* Chronicle are two Advertisements 



issued by certain parties, offering for sale what they tfrm " the 

 Fastolff Raspberry." Upon referring to these Adveitisemeats 

 it will be f.umd that one states it to have originated in the gar- 

 den of Mr. Jary, of Burlingham, and the < r in that of Mr. 

 Lucas, of Fllbyj thus placing the correctness of their state- 

 ments in a very qu nable point of view. Mr. Rivers states 

 that the fruit upon which Dr. Lindley pronounced his opinion 

 was gathered in what he terms "the Fiiby garden." Yockli 

 and ( beg to say that this i >n is utterly void of truth, 



and they regret Mr. Rivers should have lent his name to the 

 publication of such. 



As to the true oricin of this valuable varietv, Y. Si Co. beg to 

 say that they fully believe it originated in the garden of the late 

 Rev. G. Lucas, of 1 !e Orniesby Hall, in this countv, and who 

 was a most Intimate and highly-valued friend of theirs (not the 

 Rev. G. Luc <s, of Fiiby), and where they had ample >por- 

 tunities of making themselves thoroughly conversant with the 

 variety the: n sending out as the "True Fastolff Rasp- 

 berry;" and nee that period they have bestowed every care 

 and attention in purchasing every cane of this Raspberry, and 

 marking the same during the fruiting season, which is the only 

 time when this variety is to be detected from several kinds 

 grown in this locality, and calle I the "Fiiby R- erry," 

 "Seedling," &c. Y. and Co., at a cost of between 300/. and 

 400/.,brousht before the public the "True ! tr Raspberry;** 



the demand it met with, the dintingn shed mage it enjoys, 



and the many marks of approba i they have received for 

 thus bringing into pubic notice a most valuable fruit, which 

 would, until now, have remained in obacuritv.and gratified the 

 wishes of certain pirties, and thus deprived' the Horticultural 

 world {pro tempore) of so great an addition to their collection 

 of fruits. Youbll and Co. having purchased aU the available 

 stock of this Raspberry, knowing such to be correct, and 

 rejecting many grown In this neighbourhood, which mar, per- 

 chance, be palmed upon tha public as the True Fastolff, &c, 

 they again caution their friends that they cannot be held 

 accounts for its answering the merits ascribed to it by them, 

 unless purchased at the Great Yarmouth Nursery, or of their 

 Agents, a list of whom appear on the advertising sheet of this 

 day's Gardeners* Chronicle.
