THE AMERICAN CRANBERRY. 17 exercise as much diligence and tact as his son Jonathan has done on this side the ocean, in cultivating the cranberry vines of the iens, he would reap an abundant harvest from lands which.are now lying as barren wastes. But while the present war lasts, there is little chance of his going ahead in this particular department of agriculture; and therefore the growers here will doubtless, for a long time to come, find a market in England for the species we will next call the reader's attention to. THE AMERICAN CRANBERRY. .(OXTOO00U8 MAOBOCAEPTTS.) It is scarcely necessary to say much about a berry, which must be so familiar to almost all, as is the American cranberry. Of course it has the same general properties as the English fruit, but yet there are important differences, as well as resemblances. While the English berry is small, of a pale red, the American one is large, and richly colored; some specimens are as deeply crimsoned as a dark-hued cherry. The leaves, blossom, and fruit of the latter also, are much larger, and the flavor greatly superior; by some the reverse has been asserted, but from experience, and practical knowledge, Ave can testify to the superiority of the American cranberry over all others that we have ever met with.
