THE CRANBERRY. CHAPTER I. NATURAL HISTORY OF THE CRANBERRY If the traveller over Cape Cod will now and then turn his eye toward the borders of the many ponds which abound in that region, or occasionally examine the margin of swampy tracts, he will frequently perceive patches, as they are technically termed, of a strange-looking, and at first sight, a seemingly stunted vegetation, presenting very different appearances to those exhibited by fields of stately Indian corn; or tracts of farm land, where the tall stalks of the rye wave, and ears of wheat look golden in the sunshine $f summer. A certain preciseness of planting, and regularity of disposition, convinces even the most careless observer, that thece patches are by no means unproductive. And if he chooses to inquire of the next person he meets, he will learn that these, to him singular-looking specimens of farming, are cranberry grounds. 01)
