. The American fruit culturist, containing directions for the propagation and culture of all fruits adapted to the United States. Fruit-culture. THE CRANBERRY. 383. Soil. The best soil and situation consist of peat and muck bottoms, coated with pure sand obtained from adjacent banks, and the ground thus prepared must be capable of being flooded with clear running water at pleasure during winter, and thoroughly- drained at other times, for it is absolutely essential that it should be dry during the blooming and growing season. Drift soils have proved unsuc- cessful. Muddy water run- ning over the plants injures them. In preparing the soil all wood and rubbish must be cleared off, called " turfing, " and the surface, or " turf, " removed with a hoe made for the purpose. It is then provided with drains by clearing out the main water- course and making parallel open side ditches at regular distances of about two to five rods. The whole surface is then covered with from four to six inches of pure sand. The chief object of this coating of sand is to retard the growth of the vines and thus increase their productiveness. An embankment or small dyke should surround the whole to allow the plantation to be flooded or drained at pleasure. Setting the plants. After sanding, the plants are set in rows about two feet apart. Some prefer a greater distance, to ad- mit more freely the passage of a horse cultivator. They should be ten or twelve inches in the row. Flooding should be continued at intervals from December to May, and furnishes, among other advantages, protection from insects as well as from early frosts. The plantation should be carefully kept clear of weeds for the first two or three years, after which, if well managed, the cranberry plants will cover the surface and render this labor comparatively light.
