PREFACE TO NEW EDITION. 



With the assistance of some of our most successful 

 growers, the writer has endeavored to fnrnish a few facts 

 for the guidance of those who are inexperienced in Cran- 

 berry Culture. A very small percentage of the land in 

 any country is adapted to the growth of the Cranberry, 

 and as the most experienced growers frequently fail in 

 selecting locations, beginners are advised to proceed cau- 

 tiously until their ground has been practically tested, and 

 to observe closely the effects of drainage, flowage, etc., 

 as it is impossible to prescribe rules for the management 

 of every location. J. J. White.
