the crop returned by him, of 610 1-2 bushels to the acre, is a 

 true one. 



CABBAGES. 



Of these there were two entries, one by Mr. J. L. Newhall, 

 the other by Mr. Gregory, they were both excellent crops and 

 should not have been entered for the same premium, as they 

 both excelled in the purpose for which they were raised. Mr. 

 Newhall's for the market were as near together as they could 

 possibly be and do well. Mr. Gregory's, on the other hand 

 were grown at equal distances, with good space for them to 

 perfectly develop, which they had well improved and were as 

 handsome and uniform a crop as any one could have desired to 

 look upon, all of a kind, with no mixture or cross in the differ- 

 ent pieces, as there was some ten different pieces of as many 

 different kinds ; all to be put under ground for the winter, 

 from which to raise seed the next season. 



CARROTS. 



There were four different varieties of carrots growing on one 

 lot which was entered by Mr. Gregory, and was well worthy 

 of the premium. 



SQUASHES. 



The two crops entered were both of the Marrow variety. 

 Mr. Gregory's crop was seen at his squash house, and Mr. 

 Newhall's was viewed upon the vines the 16th of September, 

 a large and handsome crop and remarkably free from mixture. 

 He had a piece of Hubbard's at some distance off, which we 

 had not time to go and see. 



MANGLE WURZELS. 



The acre of mangle wurzels, entered by Mr. Newhall, was a 

 remarkably large crop, especially for this year. There must 

 have been great care taken in sowing and thinning out the 

 crop, as there was none of those blank or barren spaces so no- 

 ticeable in a patch of this kind of root, and we consider them 

 fully worthy of the Society's diploma and premium of eight 

 dollars.
