APPENDIX 



TO THE 



FURNISHED BY THE HON. SIMON BROWN, EDITOR OF THE '' NEW ENGLAND 

 FARMER," FROM THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY 

 AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, MASSACHUSETTS, 1855. 



I ACKNOWLEDGE my obligations to the Hon. Simon 

 Brown, Editor of the JSfeio England Farmer for the ma- 

 terial whicli constitutes the appendix to this treatise. 



I commend what is here embodied to the careful at- 

 tention of the reader, believing that he will find the 

 intelligent statements made on the culture of cranberries 

 to be worthy of his notice. They are highly practical, 

 and if carried out on the lands distinctly named herein, 

 they Avill be followed with some degree of success. I 

 would call the reader's attention more especially to the 

 statistics which are given, as they so clearly show that 

 what has been said on this fruit is not an exaggeration 

 of its value to the farmer. 



The following are taken from the Keport of the Mid- 

 dlesex Countv (Mass.) Agricultural Society for 1855 :
