To E. R. Andrews, of West Roxburj, for the best sample of 

 barley, a premium of $1. 



To Macey Randall, Jr. of Sharon, for the best collection of on- 

 ion, carrot, beet, parsnip, &c. seeds, a premium of $1. 



Mr. Randall gives his entire attention to the raising and putting 

 up of seeds, in small packages, for sale. The Committee gave a 

 thorough examination of several boxes containing small papers on 

 exhibition by Mr. R. and were well pleased with the quahty. 



We Avish our American brethren would use the same care in the 

 cleansing of seeds, that the English seeds-men invariably adopt.
