AT
T MIDDLEWOOD'S FAMILY FRUIT WARE-
o HOUSE, 6, PARKER-STREhT, near Church-street.

for Preserving, &c. He has also just received a fresh supply of
the fine high-flavoured American Pippins, which he will sell in
Barrels, Halves, and Quarters ; also, a quantity of Sweet
Pot, or Summer Oranges, Pomegranates, Tatilat Dates,
Spanish Melons, &c. ; anti is constantly supplied with Kent
Walnuts, Filberts, and Cob Nuts ; his Raisins, in boxes and
cartoons, will be found of very superior quality ; new Jordan

with every Fruit in season, of the best quality ; Spanish and
Portugal Grapes, i❑ large and small packages, in the best

lade.

J. M. respectfully recommends his Friends and the Public
to compare his Forbidden Fruit, so superior in flavour, for
making Marmalade, Preserving, &c., sold at ss. and is. per
dozen, with the Fruit offering at 3s. and 4s. per dozen ; also,
his Grapes, at Bd. per lb., with those sold in the cheap shops
at 6d. and 7d. He is accused with monopolising all the
choice Fruits, consequently commanding the best trade in
the country : in this he is not in fault ; it is because he has
not a competitor in any person that understands the business.
J. M. will pledge himself to sell every choice Fruit under
any Establishment in Town ; and he also engages to supply,
from his own Establishment, every Article in his advertise-
ment—an unusual thing with advertisers. The Public are
aware his Family Fruit Warehouse has been established for
the sale of choice Fruits, and Patronised by the Nobility
generally in the surrounding Counties, for upwards of thirty
years.
East India Preserved Ginger, in original packages; best
Jamaica Ditto and Limes, in jars ]lb. and upwards.
J. M. begs to observe, his Forbidden Fruit are selected
from the same gardens as those he had the honour of sup-
plying her Majesty with last season.
Private Families supplied, as usual, to any extent, and at
any distance, on receipt of Post-office or other remittances
N.F.—The Trade supplied on liberal toe. •
