Mr. Slone's cranberries were of the upland culture. But as 

 they were not accompanied by any statement of the mode of cul- 

 ture, or its result, they did not come within the Society's rules for 

 a premium. 



Few products of the soil, probably, are more valuable ; none, 

 certainly, will command a quicker or more remunerative sale. 

 We are gratified to learn that increased attention is now paid to 

 the cultivation of cranberries in the county, and venture to ex- 

 press the desire that, at the next exhibition, the Society's tables 

 may be laden with large contributions of a fruit of so much value 

 and beauty.
