We condense report from committee of vegetables, of Western N. Y. Society, as originally published in the Rural Home:

An expression of opinion as to the best and earliest tomatoes was called for. Mr. Charlton named General Grant as best for general crop. Mr. Elliott spoke highly of Hathaway's Excelsior as being next to Hubbard's Curled Leaf in earliness, smooth, solid, and more delicate than Trophy. F. C. Reynolds, Rochester, agreed with Mr. Elliott.

Sweet Corn

Sylvester said Campbell's Early is the earliest. Elliott said Briggs' is earlier. Maxwell named Moore's Early Concord. Several spoke well of Black Sweet Corn, saying it is sweet and good.

Peas

Dr. Beadle, Ontario, commended McLean's Advancer for later variety. In answer to inquiry: Champion of England, will yield more, but requires too much trouble in bushing. J. B. Jones, Macedon, likes the Edible Sweet Pod. P. C. Reynolds asked if any one knew of an earlier variety than Carter's First Crop, and was answered no. He also spoke of McLean's Little Gem as a dwarf of the best quality.

Beets

The Egyptian Beet was commended by Mr. Elliott as earliest and best, but too small for the market gardener. He said it was four or five days earlier than Bassano. Sylvester named Hatch as best early. It was agreed that turnip-rooted beets should be cultivated shallow, so as to encourage forming root near surface.

Potatoes

Mr. Fowler, Rochester, said Peerless yielded twice as much as Peach-blow. Mr. Ryder agreed that it would yield twice as much, but was not as good. Mr. Sylvester - On rich, moist soil, worthless, but on a dry soil, of moderate fertility, excellent. Mr, Bronson - Good as Peachblow. Mr. Willard, Geneva, commended Campbell's Late Rose. Admitted that it was not quite as good as Early Rose. Mr. Van Dusen had raised some of Thorburn's Late Rose. Looked well, but had not eaten them. Mr. Elliott said that Thorburn's was a sport from Early Rose, while Campbell's was a seedling. Sports would produce part early and part late potatoes, while seedlings are uniform. Mr. Craine - Early Rose potatoes must be cooked right. If boiled in an iron kettle, and allowed to stand a few minutes, will taste bad, but if boiled in tin or porcelain, will be all right. Dr. Sylvester finds that Early Rose keeps till June, and will then steam up good. Digs his potatoes early, and keeps them in barrels in cool outhouses.

Parsnips

Mr. Elliott had found the Student parsnip better than old varieties. It is of finer fiber, and sweeter. Sylvester indorsed Elliott's views. Mr. Brooks would commend the culture of parsnips to those farmers who have not yet dug their potatoes.

Beans

Elliott prefers the White Wax, a snap bean, to the Black Wax. Remains tender as long, early, and its color makes it a better shell bean. Dr. Beadle prefers the flavor of China to Wax. Large Lima was generally commended as the best shell bean.

Turnips

Dr. Beadle said they had in their market a variety called Nimble Dick, which is their earliest, and a variety called Sweet German, which they preferred for late.

Water-Melons

Mr. Elliott had tried a new variety, called Rattlesnake, which he thought better than any of the old sorts.

Best Six Pears

Bartlett, Beurre d'Anjou, Howell, Duchesse, Lawrence, Seckel.

Advisable

Beurre Bosc, Clairgeau.

Best New Pears

Souvenir de Congres, Dana's Hovey, Mount Vernon.

Small Fruits For The Family Garden

Read, by Louis Rltz, before the Eastern Ohio Horticultural Society. [CONCLUDED.]

OF all the Black-cap varieties grown for market, the Doolittle for early, to be followed by the Mammoth Cluster or large Miami are the best; the difference in earliness between the Davison's Thornless and Doolittle is so slight, and the production of the latter so much larger, that I hold it to be more profitable of the two. The Mammoth Cluster I would consider the queen of Black-caps, as it stands unsurpassed for size, flavor or productiveness, if it was not too soft to be shipped a great distance; in our Cincinnati market* it sells well, but dealers will not buy it for reshipment, and prefer for that purpose the common Miami.

Our Chtllicothe friends spoke last winter very highly of the Chapman, and if it has all the good qualities of the Mammoth Cluster, without this defect, it should be planted in preference. If our pleasant visit to Chillicothe, last summer, had not convinced us to the contrary, I would feel inclined to consider our Ross county friends a very selfish people for keeping this Chapman berry so many years to themselves, and I hope they will furnish us to-day with some additional information.

I received some time ago from Kentucky, the Kentucky Mammoth, which if not identical with the Chapman, may prove its equal, being a strong grower, large, firm and very productive.

The above varieties will do equally well for the garden, where also the Miller or any of the Ohio Everbearing species would be appreciated.

Of red raspberries the Philadelphia is certainly the most productive in rich soil; of good size, but rather soft and deficient in flavor; its greatest defect, however, is its dark, dull color. In some markets color may not be so much of an object, but in Cincinnati the Philadelphia sells well only, if no lighter colored berries are in market, otherwise it will bring no more than Black-caps.

The hardiest of the Antwerps with me is the Clarke, which stood even the extremes of last winter without being injured, while the Philadelphia suffered severely for the first time. It is a strong, rampant grower, and on that account should be cut back during the summer, very large and productive, of fine color and highly flavored. In light soils the Clarke does not seem to be as reliable as in strong ones. Then we have the Parnell, not quite as hardy, but does well with a light shelter, and I may here state that both raspberries and blackberries seem to do better in young orchards, the shade being beneficial and trees protecting the more tender kinds in winter.

For the garden, the Surpasse Fasstolff, Knevitt, Giant and Belle de Fontenay are valuable; the latter yielded, the past summer, berries from June to the end of October.

Unsurpassed for home use is the Surprise d'Antoinne, bearing two crops, each equal to, if not excelling in quantity, the Philadelphia; it is of very large size, of the most delicate yellowish-white tint, and in flavor the superior of Brinkle's Orange or Arnold's seedlings.

The Herstine is the only new variety of great promise; it is a seedling of the Philadelphia, and will be the berry for profit, if only one-half the praise awarded to it is deserved. It is a strong, healthy grower, thus far hardy and quite productive. I would not say more from my own observation, as I have not tried it long enough.

From actual measurement I found the following varieties to yield per stool, in 1871 and 1872, as follows:

I am satisfied that it will, when once well known, become a favorite in every fruit garden.
