'T'HE FILBY, or FASTOLFF RASPBERRY.— 



v ^^^ rea - uest of s °me 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 m his garden. His attention was drawn to it 

 and he soon found it to be a superior and delicious varietv, 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 Filbv 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 Youell and Co., when they first began to sell the 



canes. The fruit upon which Dr. Lin-dley pronounced his Antouine d'Ormoise 

 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 6s. per score, carriage paid 

 To London. Charge for package, for small parcels, 6d., for 

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

 The Trade price will be given on application.
