108 VINES, WHERE TO BE HAD. 



VINES, WHERE TO BE HAD. 



From what lias been stated in tlie previous parts of 

 this manual, some readers may have determined upon 

 attempting the cultivation of the cranberry, and are 

 desirous of obtaining vines of the quality described — ■ 

 vines which have been naturalized by cultivation. 

 I can recommend all such iiiquirers to William Crowell, 

 Esq., of No. 26 Coenties Slip, New York, N. Y., for 

 vines with which to set out a patch or yard. His vines 

 can be relied upon as being of the best quality. Letters 

 addressed to him or the author of this, work, through 

 the publishers, will be promptly attended to. 



The vines which Mr. Crowell has for sale are trans- 

 j)orted from his yard on Cape Cod to New York, so 

 that orders can be filled as soon as they are received. 

 Good vines, I mean those which have been improved hy 

 cultivation, can be supplied at from $7 to $10 per thou- 

 sand. It will be found that plants of this description 

 are cheaper in the end than those which are procured 

 wild from the bog, though the latter are furnished at a 

 much lower rate. It will require some years to bring 

 the wild vine to that state of perfection which belongs 

 to the cultivated one. And the probability is, that 

 many vines obtained wild from the swamp are barren ; 

 it will therefore be cheaper to purchase those the quali- 

 ties of which are known and proved.
