HPHE FILBY/or FASTOLFF RASPBERRY.— 



-*- At the request of some gentlemen living in the neighbour- 

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

 this redly 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^arden . His attention was drawn to it, 

 and he soon found ijgfb 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 F >lff 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. Lindlev pronounced his 

 opinion was gathered in the Filby garde now the prope v of 

 the Rev. G. Lucas, who authorises and permits the public ;ion 

 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 30*. per 100, or 6s. 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 beexeci ted. 

 The Trade price will be given on application.

p ORNISH KIDNEY POTATOES.-THE EAR- 



yj LIEST OF ALL EARLY POTATOES. It is remarkable 

 that this valuable sort >i.. uld be so little known and cultivated 

 in E ngland. It is grown to some extent in the West of Corn- 

 wall, and HAS BEEN* PRODUCED Iff THE OPEN GROUND DURING 

 THE LAST TEN TEARS, FROM THE 15TH to 1STH OF APRIL, (on 



1 average.) 



Upwards of three hundred acres are annually grown in the 

 neighbourhood of Penzance; and thousands of baskets aie 

 sent, by steamers, to supply the London and Bristol Markets. 



The growers tblain them so early, that thef are enabled to 

 procure an excellent second crop on the same land. 



It is a most valuable sort, and should be grown in every 

 garden where early vegetables are required. 



Sold in Boxes, at 5s. and ;s. each, package and carriage free 

 to London or Bristol, which will he f arded on receiving a 

 Post-office order, on application to WILLIAM E. RENDLE.

WHITNEY'S PATENT CLOTH for COVERING 



* f GREEN-HOUSES, CUCUMBER or MELON PITS, Ac. 

 This C oth is made expressly for the purpose of applying: 

 Whitney's Comp< on upon, and is much more durable than 

 any other material: v^hmx coated it is beautifully white and 

 transparent. The perfect success of Whitney's Compc on for 

 all Horticultural purposes cannot be more fully establiehed than 

 by statin?, that, ou the 1st of April last, a Black Hamburgh Vine 

 was set in a border, the stem introduced into a house covered 

 with Calico, and coated with Composition. On the 1st of Sept. 

 a bunch of Grapes was cat wei >g 16$ ounces, the fruit waa 

 j cly coloured, i the fiayour pronounced to be excellent. A 

 sample was sent up to the F >r of the Gardener*' Chronicle 

 for his inspection. The tree prew very luxuriantly, the foliage 

 very fine, and the wood ripened exceedingly well. As a wiater 



tection it is infinitely wanner than glus.
