JOSEPH J. WHITE, 
A PRACTICAL GROWER. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
In view of the rapidly increasing demand for a reliable 
guide, or text-book for the cranberry culturist, the author 
lias attempted, with the liberal aid of some of the most 
successful growers, to prepare such a work. 
ne has aimed to embody, in a plain and concise man 
ner, all the useful and practical facts which study and 
experience have yielded to the inquiring cranberry grow¬ 
er of the present time. The business' has increased 
enoriSously within the last ten years, and knowledge and 
experience have kept pace with that increase. The in¬ 
sufficiency of the works upon this subject, which have 
hitherto been taken as books of reference, is very ap¬ 
parent. 
Fifty years ago, one embarking extensively in the cul¬ 
tivation of the cranberry would have been comparable 
to a craft putting to sea without chart or compass. 
Doubts would have accompanied his progress, and the 
possibility of profit resulting from his labors have been 
exceedingly uncertain, for the reason that the wrong 
courses to he pursued were far more numerous than the 
right ones. Hence it was that the early cultivators ven¬ 
tured out very cautiously, risking but little of their labor 
or capital in the doubtful enterprise. 
Many failed, but failures, although unpleasant, are not 
entirely without good results, and should be carefully 
chronicled, to the end that others may learn wisdom, and 
not fall into the same errors. 
Some were partially successful, and their names have 
become connected-with the business, although their 
achievements have been far surpassed by men of whom 
we have never heard ; yet they were comparatively suc¬ 
cessful in their day, and they deserve notice now, for 
having laid the foundation of successful cultivation. 
The endeavor has been to make this work as compre¬ 
hensive as possible ; and it is believed that it will prove 
an efficient guide to all who may have cause to consult 
its pages. 
There have been so many loose statements with regard 
to cranberry growing, and so much rash speculation in 
the business, that a well considered work like this is 
timely.
