Unusual contest offers opportunities for conservation
An unusual vegetable-growing
contest allows the grower to
become something of a historic
preservationist without leaving the
backyard.
t An old-fashioned vegetable
contest and exhibitlonU was
announced in April by Old Salem,
the restored town. The exhibition
will be Oct. 14. Although veg
etable-growing contests are nothing
new, this one is distinctive in that

of Haitian Painting," presents in his
torical perspective a small but
panoramic view of the magnificence
that Haiti offers. The exhibit docs not
label or categorize the artists and
their styles, but represents a cross
section of Haitian art. Included is the
work of the following artists:
? Toussaint Auguste, who began
painting carefully executed, imagina
tive nature and religious scenes in the
late 1940s.
? Wilson Bigaud, whose best
work illuminates scenes of everyday
life and religious themes with a kind
of golden light. His works arc in the
permanent collection of the museum
of modem art, New York.
? Jean-Baptiste Bottex is known
for his intuitive selection of muted
colors in renditions of the traditional
African lifestyle in rural villages and
use of brighter colors in biblical nar
ratives and historical scenes.
? Jean Enguerrand Gourgue's use
of somber colors tends to add an air
of mysticism to his work. He is one
of the leading figures in Haitian art
today.
? Hector Hyppolite was
considered one of the "old masters of
Haitian art. A voodoo priest, he
taught himself to paint and began
painting around 1908."
? Lucner Lazard is the acknowl
edged "Dean" of Haitian artists
abroad. He has been largely responsi
ble for arranging many exhibits of
Haitian Art.
? Luce Turnier is recognized as
Haiti's foremost woman painter.
The public is invited to meet the
collectors, Mr. and Mrs. Hewitt, at
the opening lecture and reception,
Saturday, July 15th at 4 p.m. at the

cties provided by Old Salem are eli
gible. It is a matter of growing and
tasting vegetables from another
time.
Kay Bergey, Old Salem's horti
culture marketing coordinator and
the contest's director, gives severaP
reasons to enter the contest: "It's a
way to perpetuate old varieties of
vegetables. Most vegetables you
buy today at the market and most
vegetables grown in. home gardens
are hybrids and ripen at the same
time. They have limited taste
appeal, and there are few choices of
varieties.
"The seeds for the exhibition
are the same kinds that are grown in
the Old Salem gardens; they are
heirloom vegetables, cultivated
down over the years as they were in
tfie 1700s and 1800s - you're actu
ally doing a little historic restora
tion when you grow them."
The seeds are available at T.
Bagge-Merchant, the Old Salem
museum store, and at the Old Salem
visitor center. Although it's too late
for Connecticut field pumpkins and
dipper gourds, Ms. Bergey says, it's
' - J" ? K r ? - -0r ? l
the right time to plant scarlet runner t
beans (1750) and speckled cranber
ry beans (1830s) and entrants have
plenty of time before planting them.
There are also other varieties avail
able, among them: early blood
turnip beets, Paris white cos lettuce
and round black Spanish radishes.
The contest provides for an
adult category (14 and older) and a
children's category. Entries must be
delivered to Salem Square 9-10
a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14. For fur
ther information, Call Kay Bergey
