REPORT OF VEGETABLES EXHIBITED. 



We regret to say that the exhibition of vegetables was rather meagre, 

 notwithstanding the important place which their cultivation holds in 

 horticulture. The specimens which were exhibited, however, were almost 

 universally excellent of their kind. They were as follows : — 



From F. "W. Macondry, Dorchester, Egg Plants, Carrots, Blood Beets, 

 Celery, Parsnips, field Corn, and 6 varieties of Tomatoes. 



From A. D. Williams, Roxbury, Canada Squash, Marrow do.. Long 

 Blood Beets, Turnip do., Sweet Corn, Carrots, Broccoli, Savoy Cabbage, 

 Drumhead do.. Red do.. Celery, Tomatoes. 



From Eben Wight, Dedham, four squashes from one vine, weighing 

 respectively 87, 79, 78, and 68 pounds. 



From Thomas Motley. Jr., Dedham, Egg Plants, Lima Beans. 



From Enoch Bartlett, Roxbury, Club Gourd. 



From Orr N. Towne, Somerville, Egg Plants, 2 varieties. 



From J. Fisk Allen, Salem, Tomatoes. 



From N. Stetson, Bridgewater, Tomatoes. 



From Edward Allen. Lowell, Celery. 



From Samuel Walker, Roxbury, Tomatoes, 2 varieties. 



From P. Cook, Roxbury, Tomatoes. 



From J. L. L. F. Warren, Brighton, Squashes of the growth of 1845, 

 Wreath of Corn, 12 varieties, Egyptian Wheat and Millet. 



From William Quant, Brookline, Egg Plants. 



It may here be remarked, that at no former exhibition has it closed 

 when the Fruits, Flowers, and Floral decorations were left in so fine a 

 condition. The Committee would again congratulate the Society on the 

 successful result of the exhibition, which it is hoped will act as an incentive 

 to future efforts in a cause which is doing so much for our common 

 country. 



For the Committee, 



HENRY W. DUTTON, Chairman.
