Prize Vegetables.

Speaking of prize tomatoes and 9th
er vegetables the attention of this
paper has been called to tomato raised
by Mrs. J. J. Sturgeon of Greenmont
who sends one that weighs two and
onehalf pounds and measures nineteen
inches in circumference. She has not
stopped with having large tomatoes
but has raised lima beans that have
been six inches in circumference and
were an inch and half wide. Who
can beat the record?
