Repokt on Vegetables. 



The (;!oinmittee on Vegetables, having attended to tho duties of 

 their appointment, would respectfully report, that, owing to the ex- 

 treme drought, which prevailed during that part of the season when 

 Garden Vegetables make their principal growth, the exhibition in this 

 department was not so largo as last year, nor as we hope to see it 

 hereafter. Yet the specimens that were exhibited shew a steady 

 improvement, justifying, in our opinion, the continuance of the 

 bounty of the Society.
