370 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [Pub. Doc. 



If the crop is to be kept until winter, a liouse, frost proof, 

 should be built in which to store the fruit. Some growers 

 pack it in bushel crates ; others on shelves made in crib 

 style, so the fruit will be about twelve inches in depth. 



Just before sending to market the fruit should be picked 

 over either by hand work or l)y the use of a machine made 

 for the pur})ose. 



In conclusion, never engage in cranberry culture unless 

 you can locate where the conditions are favoral)le. Never 

 purchase plants from localities where destructive insects 

 have injured the vines or the fruit. Never set plants that 

 are not prolific bearers and do not produce berries of thick 

 flesh. Never half build a bog, but do it well or not at all ; 

 and, finally, let the business alone unless you care enough 

 about it to make yourself familiar with all of its details, 

 from the selection of the bos: to the sellinir of the fruit.
