Your committee very much regret that the display of vegetables has not 

 been greater for the past season, but are much gratified with the very fine 

 specimens exhibited, though few. Quality in some measure has made up 

 for quantity. 



For the Committee, Wm. B. Kingsbury. 



The Chairman of the Flower Committee, in his very excellent report, has 

 appended thereto some statistics in regard to the exhibitions of the Society, 

 which may be interesting to many. 



It appears from the report that there were sixty-two contributors during 

 the year 1845. Nineteen of them exhibited but once each ; four but twice 

 each ; eleven but three times each ; two but four times each ; four but five 

 times each ; leaving tioenty-tivo individuals who made the principal exhibi- 

 tions during the season. The names of these members, and the number of 

 limes they exhibited are as follows : — Messrs. Hovey & Co., twenty-six ; 

 J. Breck & Co., twenty-one ; Messrs. Winships, twenty ; P. Barnes, eight- 

 een ; M. P. Wilder, eighteen ; S. Walker, eighteen ; W. Ivenrick, seven- 

 teen ; Mr. Warren, fifteen ; W. E. Carter, fourteen ; J. Hovey, thirteen ;
