STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
Philadelphia is very productive, but for quality he likes the White Antwerp 
the best; does not regard Black Caps, as grown in Wisconsin, worth eating. 
A gentleman asked if any one knew a hardy red raspberry. 
Dr. Bobbins said he did—a seedling which originated in Mr. Carpenter’s 
garden, in this city. It is a very good berry too. 
Mr. Stickney had not heard the Hornet named. He had grown it a single 
year, and found it productive, large and of good flavor. 
Mr. Kellogg had had it for four years, and never got any berries from it and 
did not expect any. He has also the Cincinnati Red, whose crop will pay the 
second season for all the care and cost of cultivation the two seasons. 
The meeting then adjourned the further discussion till the annual meeting 
in January, 1868.
