UPLAND CRANBERRY. 79 them, why not the upland? The objections which lie against the latter, ten or fifteen years ago applied with equal force against the former. What is now wanted is only a fair trial on the part of those who take any interest in the cultivation of cranberries. These vines must be experimented with and tried; and doubtless Professor Shepherd feels convinced that they will be highly remunerative, or he would not recommend them. There are thousands of acres of land in this country which are dry and parched, and seemingly unfit for the development of vegetation, but if future experience in connection with this variety should prove them to be of value, and their cultivation practicable, we may hope to see these now useless tracts occupied and made of use to the farmer. Without saying anything further, I call the attention of the reader to Professor Shepherd's letter, upon which he can form his own opinion, and also to the announcement found at the end of this manual, that Mr. Trowbridge has made arrangements to supply this variety of vine to those who may require it. New Haven, Dec. 28, 1855. Dear Sir :—As Mr. Trowbridge is about to forward to you a specimen of the Oxycoccus Palustris, or Upland Cranberry, at his request I would respectfully state that these berries are such as I have seen growing

What is now wanted is only a fair trial on the part of those who take any interest in the cultivation of cranberries. These vines must be experimented with and tried; and doubtless Professor Shepherd feels convinced that they will be highly remunerative, or he would not recommend them. There are thousands of acres of land in this country which are dry and parched, and seemingly unfit for the development of vegetation, but if future experience in connection with this variety should prove them to be of value, and their cultivation practicable, we may hope to see these now useless tracts occupied and made of use to the farmer. Without saying anything further, I call the attention of the reader to Professor Shepherd's letter, upon which he can form his own opinion, and also to the announcement found at the end of this manual, that Mr. Trowbridge has made arrangements to supply this variety of vine to those who may require it.
