There were also some splendid clusters of Black Hamburg presented by Lewis Allen and R. S. Rogers of South Danvers. The latter also offered for exhibition the Wilmot Hamburg, Cannon Hall and Muscat of Alexandria.

The Isabellas, by Levi Fish of Danvers, B. F. Hutchinson of South Danvers, T. W. Ashby and Stephen Thayer of Salem, deserve honorable mention, as do also many other varieties, which the Committee have now no space to particularly notice.

Of Peaches, the Committee have only to say, that the most fastidious fruit-fancier could find no fault with the quality of the "Freestone White Flesh, Yellow Flesh or Blood Peach for Preserves." Not an unripe or knurly specimen could be found on the Society's tables. Not a peach was offered which was not of the richest quality and most luscious flavor, yet the Committee have awarded no premiums or gratuities for peaches. They could find no positive merits or demerits in this kind of fruit, for what we hope will be deemed a satisfactory reasonthat they had none at all before them.

VEGETABLES.

The Committee on Vegetables, having attended to the duties assigned them, submit the following report:

-

The number of entries was large, and many specimens were of superior excellence.

The Committee would make especial reference to the entry of S. A. Merrill of Salem, consisting of ninety-two varieties, many of which were very fine. Also, the entry of D. Wentzell, of the Leavitt Farm, attracted the attention of the Committee, not because of the large number of specimens, which was exceeded by others, but because of the excellent quality of the articles exhibited.

Josiah Newhall, of Lynnfield, exhibited some very fine Tomatoes and Onions.

Mr. Aaron Low, of Essex, had some very tempting perfected Tomatoes.

Some mammoth Squashes were shown by William Buxton of South Danvers, which were certainly good for the eye to look upon; whether they were equally so to the taste, the Committee were somewhat in doubt.

Two very nice looking Squashes were exhibited by Andrew S. Porter, grown from one seed, and weighing one hundred and seventy-six pounds.

The Committee noticed some very superior Wheat, raised by Mr. J. P. King of South Danvers, which the Committee are sorry to say was the only lot entered.

A mammoth Cabbage, weighing forty-four pounds, was exhibited by Mr. Seth Friend of Beverly, which ought to satisfy any reasonable Corkonian for one dinner.

Some fourteen-rowed Sweet Corn was shown by Andrew Curtis of South Danvers, which was very large and remarkably well filled.

The Committee, after having carefully examined the various articles, award to

S. A. Merrill of Salem, the 1st premium, of $8, for the largest

and choicest varieties of vegetables.

D. Wentzell of Salem, the 2d premium, of

John S. Ives of Salem, the 3d
