Locally in Bergen, Essex and Hudson Counties and plentiful 

 in the bogs of the Pine Barrens; rarely in the Middle and Cape 

 May districts. 



The cultivation of the Cranberry is to-day the principal in- 

 dustry of the Pine Barrens, and every year acres of natural bog, 



*The Hammonton record (KB) has not been verified, and is, I think, very 

 doubtful.

Prof. Willis in his catalogue, p. 37, states that Vaccinium oxycoccus occurs 

 in Ocean and Monmouth counties, but that it is rapidly being supplanted by 

 the larger V. macrocarpon. I find no other evidence, and think that the 

 smaller cranberry to which he referred was merely the wild native form of 

 O. macrocarpus.
