COMMITTER — Messrs. Judson S. Brown, Elnathan Davis, Abel Marshall, 

 Wm. J. Clifford, Fitchburg ; Luke Wellington, Ashby. 



The Committee on Vegetables have attended to the duties 

 assigned them and beg leave to present the following report. 



The Show in this department it is thought, exceeded all 

 previous ones, and justly merits the high encomiums bestowed 

 upon it. In the judgement of the Committee, the vegetables 

 on exhibition to-day, exhibit an increasing interest in the va- 

 rious products of the garden and field, highly creditable to the 

 contributors, and also to the Society. 



The Committee exceedingly regret that a larger sum was 

 not placed at their disposal, that they might have distributed 

 the premiums of the Society more in accordance with their 

 own feelings and the real claims of the one hundred compet- 

 itors, who honored the Society with their generous and attrac- 

 tive contributions. 



The premiums awarded are as follows : —
