110 ON VEGETABLES. 



productions of the Vegetable kingdom, consisting of mammoth 

 Squashes ; huge Beets, Carrots, and Onions ; Potatoes, cooked 

 and uncooked ; Tomatoes, in varieties ; Cabbages, Corn, &c. 

 The delicious and choice fruits, as the apple, the pear, the 

 peach, the plum, the grape ; — the lovely and beautiful flow- 

 ers of the greenhouse and the garden, of the fields, the woods, 

 and the meadows, — had been assigned to other committees. 



The display of vegetables was good, a very perceptible im- 

 provement upon that of many previous years, but yet did not 

 attain that standard of perfection which, from the character of 

 our county, we had a right to expect. The following contri- 

 butions were received :
