The committee find w. o. Bush exhibits
the finest and best collection of potatoes, but
OF for competition, the finest specimen OF
Rutabagoes, 3 varieties of squash and 1 Of
cucumber. The Hubbard sQuashes are the
largest on exhibition.
G. Haltsock of Thurston exhibited s large
specimens of white turnips and one fine
pumpkin. .-..a -. s-s-.--s.<so
R. s. Greene, of Olympia, exhibited 4 va
rieties of squashos. Butman squash is said
to be of very fine flavor.
With regard to cabbage, we would say, in
entering them for competition, give the
name of the variety and let them be judged
accordingly. Potatoes don't 60 much after
large size as good shape and above all don't
grow too many varieties.
There are great many very Useful vegeta
bles that are not represented at the Fair
With very little management, nearly all oil
them can be had till quite late in the sea,
son.
/ would call attention to Division No. l.
as there are some good specimens on exhibi-
ton that had to be discarded through moi
having the proper number or measure.
Respectfully Submitted.
