| CRASBERRIEs. Six years ago w. II. Brown and
| III. E. Mcdonald, of this city, set out some Gran
| berry vines in bog In the rear of the former
| residence on Waldo avenue. The place is a wet
| marsh where only rushes and aiers grow and
vas entirely worthless for any thing excepting
| cranberries In wet weather it is easily overflow
| ed but at the present time is as dry as upland.
| The vines are Cape Cod and natives, the latter
| doing AS well the former. Additions to the
| plants have been made yearly and with the natur-
| al growth now cover about three acres. Last
year these vines bore small quantity of fruit but
| this year, notwithstanding the severe Clrouth
there will be taken from the vines from seventy
five to one hundred bushels A journal represent
| alive visited the place last week and found the
| pickers busily engaged IN stripping the vines
| Men, women and children We're employed picking
| by the quart. A good picker will gather two
| bushels or more per day. The berries large
| and handsome and are pronounced to be Of very
| superior quality. The heavy frosts OF late have
| injured the cranberry crop In the county but the
| vines OF Mcdonald Il Brown have escaped any
serious injury, owing to the high elevation of
their land. There are several other cranberry
marshes In the vicinity, but none have had the
success of the under notice. Additional i'm
provements will be made on this marsh the present
fall, which are expected to show good results
another year. Owing to the scarcity of apples it
is thought that cranberries will be very high before
next spring. Mcdonald x Browns crop will be
stored, for the present, but is intended for the
home market.
