Vegetables

The committee report that there were but few vegetables exhibited; that those were good, generally, and in some instances very fine.

The committee vary much regret that vegetable growers in this vicinity do not take more interest in these exhibitions. The finer products, such as fruit and flowers, seem to be engrossing attention to the exclusion of more substantial ones. The vegetable department, supplied, as it might be, from the upland and island gardens of this vicinity, would be as attractive and instructive as any in the exhibition, and it is earnestly hoped that those having it in their power will, hereafter, make liberal contributions, so that this part of the show may command its proper position.
