berry are climate free from late spring
and early autumn frosts. meadow

and a sand-bank near by. In preparing
the meadows for the setting of the vines,
they are ditched so as tn drain off the
water into tie central water-course. and
also to facilitate the flooding of them !:
the coarser weeds and grasses are
removed. after which the squares or
patches are covered with sand. By
means of reservoir made by damning
up the water above the meadows they
are flooded in the fall and drained in the
spring. The Sutton Cranberry Com

their meadows, which now are coming
into berrying. and unexpected to arrive
at their maximum in two years more.
Last year the company gathered nearly
500 bushels of very fine fruit, and expect
TO gather from 100 to 400 bushels this
season. Their berry is oell-shaped,
large and fair. and has pecuiarly de-
lici0us flavor. DR.. Hill (former prcsi
