32 LOCATIONS FOR, PATCHES. A gradual slope is often to be met with, coming down to the edge of a pond. When such inclines are properly prepared and planted, they make the best of yards; and such locations generally have a soil in which the vine will do excellently; and there is not so much trouble with them, as the gravel chokes the weed. ' Sheltered and protected positions should be sought after; situations in which the plants are not likely to receive* and meet with the force of the fiercest and stormiest weather. Sandy patches of land, or plats, that are near to the sea-shore, which are not liable to be overflowed with the salt water, on Cape Cod, stand high. We have examined many yards that are situated within a few rods of the ocean, only protected from the hardest weather by a small rising in the land, which forms a bank to resist the waves; and these yards are among the handsomest in the county of Barnstable; and every year these situations are becoming of more value and consequence to the cultivators of the cranberry. There are on Long Island, and in New Jersey, vast tracts of beach land which are available, and admirably adapted to the growth of cranberries. Likewise, in the South and West, there are thousands of acres which are better adapted for the production of this fruit than anything else.
