Vegetables: The display of these was remarkably good. The varie- 

 ty of squashes was large, and the specimens excellent: one of the mam- 

 moth kind, exhibited by Capt. J. Lee, of West Cambridge, weighed one 

 hundred and thirty pounds. A new variety of tomatoes from Cuba, by 

 Mr. Lowell were curious, and some yellow fruited ones, a variety of the 

 common kind, was very showy from their rich golden hue. Two sev- 

 en years' pumpkins, the same which were exhibited last season, attract- 

 ed attention; they were as sound as they were last September. This 

 pumpkin, from its excellent keeping qualities, is likely to become a great 

 favorite. A correspondent (Vol. HI., p. 236) states that it is fully equal 

 in quality for making pies to the Valparaiso squash. It is a great 

 bearer. The following were contributed: —
