Two of Mangold Wurtzels by E. R. Miidge of Swampscott, 

 and Gregory of Marblehead. 



One of Cabbage by Gregory of Marblehead. 



The Committee met six times to view the several crops. The 

 statements of the method of cultivation, amount of the several 

 crops and the cost of producing the same are annexed, and 

 the Committee award as follows : — 



To J. B. Knight of Newbury, for his crop of Early Rose Po- 

 tatoes, the first premium of $10.00. 



To E. R. Mudge of Swampscott, for his crop of Mangold 

 Wurtzels, the first premium of $10.00. 



To Justin Noyes of Newbury, for his crop of Onions, the 

 first premium of ISlO.OO. 



To J. J. H. Gregory of Marblehead, for his crop of Cab- 

 bages, the first premium of $10.00. 



To David Warren of Marblehead, for his crop of Squashes, 

 the first premium of $10.00. 



The Committee would suggest that all entries of Root Crops 

 for premium shall be made on or before the fifteenth of Sep- 

 tember, and all statements in regard to the crops shall be sent 

 to the Chairman of the Committee before the first day of No- 

 vember. We would also suggest that the Society furnish a 

 form of statement to be filled out by each competitor for pre- 

 mium. 



We have viewed the crops entered this year at considerable 

 trouble and expense ; as the entries were made so far apart we 

 were obliged to visit the same locality several times, when one 

 visit would have been sufficient ; and the statements were not 

 all received until the 12th of November. The Committee met 

 on the 8th of November, and made out their report, and 

 awarded the premiums, but of course they could not award 

 the premiums unless they had the statement, which the rules 

 of the Society require.
