 Worcestei". 



An African Bean, something rare and singular in appearance, though its 

 merits arc unknown to the Committee, was presented by L. W. Spalding, of — . 



Specimens of Cabbage and Green Curled Lettuce, Lima Beans, Egg Plant, 

 and Spinach, all very good, were contributed by Ichabod Washburn, of Wor- 

 cester.

 lio-ht round Corn, Celery, Tomatoes, and Pole Beans, all of which were very 

 excellent, contributed by D. S. Messinger, of Worcester.

Fine Cooking Field Beans, from J. G. & D. H. Perry, of Worcester. 



Richard Bangs, Jr., of West Springfield, Hampden County, contributed a 

 large quantity of Sweet Mountain Peppers, something surpassing in size 

 any thing before seen by the Committee, and said to be more mild than the 

 common squash pepper ; Early Turnips and Long Blood Beets, Flat and Long 

 White Turnips, Drum Head and Red Cabbage, together with fine Butter, Mar- 

 row, and Crook-neck Squashes, all very superior, and the Long White Turnips 

 in particular, said to be altogether in advance of all other kinds for table use. 



Your Committee have had many other vegetables of great merit, come under 

 their observation, but are, with many regrets, obliged to leave them unnoticed 

 for want of space rather than from any disinclination to bestow upon them that 

 praise they are so justly entitled to. 



All which is respectfully submitted, 



(Signed.) JAMES GREEN.
