The collection of salad plants, many of them new, exhibited by 

 Vincent Buitta was exceptionally fine. 



A gratuity was awarded F. W. Dahl for his display of Erfurt 



celery. 



The quality of the vegetables shown at the September exhibition 

 was of the usual high standard but the exhibits were not large in 

 number. 



Charles A. Campbell's exhibition of potatoes attracted much at- 

 tention for their unusual size and quality.
