1862.] REPORT OX VEGETABLES. • 55 



of a variety not named in the premium list is awarded to Stephen Salisbury for 

 his specimens of the English Mammoth Vegetable Marrow. This Squash is 

 early and very prolific, and the pulp is sweet, delicate and light colored, and 

 excellent for pies as well as eating with meats. Charles Hersey brought in 

 long after the time of entry and examination of the Committee, very large 

 specimens named Marrow Squash, which are suspected to be some cross of 

 the Boston Marrow Squash. 



A premium of Si. 00 is awarded to Asa H. Allen of Shrewsbui'y, for the best 

 three Cabbages. 



To Joseph Lovell, of AVorcester, is awarded a premium of SI. 00 for the best 

 twelve ears of Sweet Corn. Mr. Lovell's Corn is beautiful, and its full and 

 close rows present so distinctly the idea of indivisible union that the Committee 

 think no one would object to the patriotic I'ed, white and blue with which he 

 adorns it. A premium of Si. 00 for the best twelve Tomatoes was awarded to 

 Stephen Salisbury for his Perfected Tomatoes. This variety has the advantage- 

 of more solid pulp, fewer seeds, and a smooth, round form, than the common 

 Tomatoes. Mr. Salisbury also exhibited Sutton's Tomatoes, resembling the 

 Perfected in all respects except smaller size and earlier ripening. 



There were presented by C. F. Allen of Worcester, Golden Pumpkins ; by 

 Jonathan Grout, one root of Celery ; by Addison Lovell, of West Boylston, a 

 plate of Meadow Cranberries ; by Charles Richardson, of Worcester, Toma- 

 toes ; and by Stephen Salisbury, Eastham Cabbages and Roman Emperor 

 Cucumbers. Each of these six specimens is recommended to the attention of 

 the Society. The Committee can award no premiums to these contributors. 

 By order of the Committee, 



S. SALISBURY, Chairman. 



Worcester, September 20, 1862.
