General Cultrue, &c—Comparatively speaking, the cultivation of the cranberry has now been reduced to a very certain and well-defined sys- tem. It is a native fruit, growing on a low trailing vine, found in bogs, meadows, swamps, and other wet lands. The berry is round, red, and quite acid, the finest variety being found in this country, where it com- naands a high price. Fig. 148. Some persons enumerate three kinds, only one of which, often called the Bell, is adapted to a dry soil. It grows wild, on the borders of bogs, spreading its way to upland soils, and is much larger than the other kinds, in its wild state. Persons engaging in the cultivation of this fruit may begin with the Bell ; by commencing with those which have been cultivated, or naturalized to a dry soil, they will much sooner.
