Vegetables. — The committee report, that they were highly gratified 

 with the very fine specimens shown in this department, and also by the in- 

 terest shown to obtain the prizes oflered. The committee regret that the 

 room in which the exhibition was held, had not been large, so as to afford 

 to the visitors a fairer view of the very many numerous and new varieties 

 of esculents, which the gardeners of this vicinity are in the habit of raising. 

 From Dr. H. Wendell, of Albany, twenty varieties of Seedling potatoes. 

 Many of these seedlings appear to be remarkably fine, and the committee 

 think the exhibitor deserves high praise for his commendable efforts to im- 

 prove this valuable tuber ; they would suggest that the most promising of 

 these new kinds be further tested, and that their qualities be reported on 

 next season. 



There were several other contributors, but we have not space to enumer- 

 ate them.
