80 UPLAND CRANBERRY.
in great quantities in various sections of British
America, particularly on the Neepegon coast of Lake
Superior.
The plant is much like our common cranberry, but
more vigorous, covering the ground entirely with a
green mat, while the surface is flaming red with
berries, more delicious than anything of the kind I
have ever tasted.
I have no doubt the plants may be propagated to
great advantage on poor, cold, sterile lands of a northern exposure in all the United States. But they
should not be put in marsh or bogs.
