BERKSHIRE SOCIETY. 159 



For the best two bushels of timothy seed, to Edson Sex- 

 ton, Stockbridge, 3 00 



For the best specimen of winter apples, to William 



Williams, of Stockbridge, 3 00 



The Committee wish to commend particularly the effort made 

 by Ezekiel R. Colt, of Pittsfield, to cultivate the Carolina or 

 sweet potato, in his northern garden. 



He exhibited a handsome specimen of this delicious potato, 

 raised from a few seed-slips from Charleston, S. C. The Com- 

 mittee do not consider him exactly a "northern man with south- 

 ern principles," but they pronounce him emphatically a north- 

 ern man with southern potatoes. 



ROBERT R. BRIGGS, Chairman.
