STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 277 



SUMMEE MEETIK^G. 



Mr. H. F. Busse called attentiou to the matter of fixing a 

 location for the summer meeting and moved that it be held 

 at Minneapolis. 



Col. Stevens said he wished to see the meeting held at the 

 experimental farm. 



Mr. Smith said the meeting might be held, perhaps, at the 

 Coliseum at Minneapolis. 



Mr. Dartt. It seems to me that it is all right to go to Minne- 

 apolis next winter, but we should go there with the understand- 

 ing that under favorable conditions we should meet here again 

 the following winter. 



Col. Stevens. That is the understanding. 



Mr. Smith. We want three summer meetings. 



President Smith. That can be left with the executive com- 

 mittee. 



Mr. Dartt. I object. The executive committee is a creature 

 of this society. . There are good arguments in favor of having 

 the summer meeting when small fruits are in a condition to 

 exhibit. But if we have one meeting it seems to me that is 

 sufficient for the small fruit growers. People don't like to 

 expend their money and time in order to attend a sort of jubilee, 

 as I understand these meetings are usually sought to be made; at 

 least I got the impression from the report last year that the meet- 

 ing was of that character. They came together and had straw- 

 berries and cream and had a good time. That is all very nice 

 and I want them to have it. 



The motion was amended that the summer meeting be held at 

 Minneapolis at a time and place to be designated by the execu- 

 tive committee, and adopted. 



RASPBERRIES. 



The raspberry list was then taken up. For general planting 

 the following were recommended: 



Doolittle; nine votes for, none against. 



Seneca; seven for, three against. 



Mammoth Cluster; seven for, three against. 



Gregg; five for, one against. 



A member asked why there was any opposition to the Gregg.
