Cranberrie- When the English colonists land- ed in New England they found many semiswamp areas overrun with cranberry vines. The Indians valued this bitter fruit very high- ly, both as food used with meat and when crushed and used as a poultice for blood poisoning. Their Indian name when translated was "bitter berry." The white people observed that the cranberry was a favorite foodifor cranes and called it crane-berry. In time this was changed to cranberry. I The colony of Massachusetts, in 1677. sent ten bushels of cranber- ries to King Charles of England asa gift. They called them the ”choicest product of the colony." The colonists learned from the Indians to use them with the meat of game animals and birds. It is probable that this was the begin- ning of the very general practice of serving cranberries with Thanksgiving turkey dinners. Cranberries are native to most North Temperate and Sub-Arctic countries of America, Asia and Europe. There are a number of Species and considerable varia- tion among the individual plants of each species. The common bog cranberry of America, Vaccinium macrocar. pon Ait.. sometimes referred to as its fruit on vines. It is the cran- berry of commerce and the only species that has been cultivated. The so-called thigh-bush" cran- is sometimes used as a substitute for the bog cranberry. It is closely related to one of our common or- namental shrubs, snowball. . . . l,There is a small spicy cranberry. Vaccinium Oxycoccus Linn, known locally as the grey cranberry. It is also called spicebcrry, or buck- berry. It is a shy bearer and diffi- cult to pick from its thread-like vines. Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea var min- us Lodd, is another uanberry that is common on our Canadian ex- posed coastal and more northern barren regions. It is known by many names, partridge berry, rock cranberry, etc. Its fruit rip- cns earlier than the bog cranberry. is softer and highly coloured. J. M. Mlacoun wrote about it as fol- lows: "Along the Gnspe Coast and the north shore of the Gulf of St. Law- rence, the fisheimen's families gather this fruit in large quanti- ties for their own use and for sale, calling it the "low-bush" cranber- ry, amd throughout the whole of northern Canada, hunters and trappers, as well as native Indians. have frequently to depend upon it scarce.

This cranbezu ry was first cultivated by 1! Hall, who transplanted wild via to a bag near Dennis, Mud, 1816. A local newspaper rope: in 1832 that his cranberry bog pm duced about '10 bushels of trul per year. Other growers planted cranberries in Massachusetts. I814 from there the work spread II New Jersey. These early grower: met with many failures, but by trial and error they learned 1! prepare bogs that were made fave arable for growing cranberrlu. They used acid, peat and mucll bogs that could be drained. They learned that. flooding of these boal was the best insurance against frost, drought and insects, thl three greatest problems in success- ful cranberry culture. r Improved Varieties The growers in the early day! ,olE the industry used unselected. lwild plants. They later selected the more productive plants, and those with large, fine berries. some at these Cape Cod sorts were import- ed into the Maritime Province! many years ago. A number or our growers have selected varieties from plants that produced the best fruit in their locality. but only a. few Canadian varieties have been named. Two promising Am- erican varieties that are being tested out in the Marltlmes and Quebec were originated by Cap! Cod growers: Cyrus Cahoon, who developed an early sort. that he names Early Black and Jamel Paysori Howes produced a variety that is about ten days later in ma- turing, that he named I-Iowes. The Early Black, though smaller than I-Iowcs, and many of our nativo types, make a vigorous growth at uprights that produce heavy yields. It has superior colour and flavour, and being early, escapes frosts. The Experimental Farms Service have collected many promising sorts and plants which they are testing. The best of these will be available when their value ha! been proven. Cranberry Culture The growing of cultivated cran- berries has developed into one 0! our most complicated and inten- sive industries. The preparation of a cranberry bog before it can be planted, is expensive. The turf- ing and grading, even with mod- erngequipment, runs into money. Each section should be practically level for flooding. The ditching, draining and dyklng of each acre greatly increase the cost d the bog. A natural supply of water by gravity, or an expensive pumping outfit must be available to flood the bog within five or six hours when frost damage is imminent. A sufficient supply of good quality sand should be reasonably near to flavor from the very conditions cover the entire area with from that dwarf or kill its less hardy three to four inches of sand be- 00ml3Ctit0rs." fore planting, and light sandlngs should be applied at intervals Q: from one to four years. depending on the amount of water that is available for insect. and frost pro- tection.
