CRANBERRIES 



New Jersey produces over one-third of the world's cranberry crop, as 

 they are not grown outside of the United States. There are in this State 

 approximately ten thousand acres in cranberries, yielding from 100,000 to 

 250,000 barrels annually. The average annual value of the cranberry crop 

 of New Jersey is estimated at a million dollars. A large part of the pres- 

 ent acreage has been cleared, drained and set out with selected varieties. 

 Most of these bogs are in Atlantic, Burlington and Ocean Counties. In 

 those counties, and in Cumberland and Cape May, are many hundreds of 

 acres of available swamp land which only await capital and energy to trans- 

 form them into profitable plantations. This land can be bought for from 

 $5.00 to $20.00 per acre. Much of it is several miles from a railroad.
