 Vegetables. — The show was remarkable for the excellence of the speci-

 criminate which was the best in some cases. 



Dr. Wendell sent Victory of Bath cucumbers, Rhubarb, Hoo-Sung, a 

 newly imported Ghinese vegetable, and some fine specimens of large Early 

 Asiatic cauliflowers, the seed of which was forwarded to Dr. Wendell 

 from the London Horticultural Society. It was sown 15th of March, and 

 the plants set out in May. We believe this to be a very fine variety, and 

 will be quite an addition to our stock of early vegetables.
