VEGETABLES. 



The Committee on Vegetables report : 



There were about thirty contributors to the Vegetable de- 

 partment, much less than some former years, and the quali- 

 ty as a whole was not quite as good, although there were some 

 very fine specimens. The deficiency may, however, be owing 

 in part to the crop generally not being so abundant as some 

 previous years. But we have reason to believe that it is also 

 owin°' in part to neglect on the part of contributors, or on the 

 part of those who ought to contribute. 



The Committee would recommend the following premiums 

 and gratuities : — 



To A. Curtis of South Danvers, for the largest and 

 choicest collection of vegetables, the first premi- 

 um of |8 

 To E. E. Holt, Andover, the second premium, " Har- 

 ris' Insects."
