While the Society in creating this Department have acted regard- 

 less of Goethe's Maxim, " Study the beautiful and let the useful take 

 care of itself, " the wisdom of its course has been demonstrated in 

 thef increased interest a-'d livelier competition maiiiffstcd from year to 

 year in the exhibition of Vegetables, culminating at tlie present exhi- 

 bition in a display so great as to overflow its natural boundaries, and 

 unparalleled by that of any former year in tlic size, variety, and excel- 

 lence of the specimens exhibited. 



The roots and squashes in the several displays of tlie brotliers Sears 

 and of P. L. Moen, should lu; noted for their fairness, smoothness and 

 general excellence, reflecting great credit on these contributors for the 

 care manifested liy them in preserving the purity of seed.
