Dear Sir : — Yours of the 1st inst. has this moment been received, and in reply I would say : 1. My cranberries are grown on a soil of peat muck and loose heach sand (not common earth), which I am convinced is the element for cranberries to grow in. 2. I plant my cranberries in hOls eighteen inches apart, by making a hole in the ground about three inches in diameter, and of sufficient depth to receive the roots of the plants ; then, after placing the vines in their places, I am careful to have ...them opened, and the soil placed in such a manner so as to spread the hills all around to the sides of the hole that is made to receive them, so that the hills after they are set resemble a saucer placed in the ground and partly 84 COEEESPONDENCE. Med witli earth. If they are set in a buncli in the middle of the hole, and the soil placed or filled in close around them, it keeps them too close or compact to do well. 3. My cranberries that I depend on are surrounded by wood and brush, so that they are not exposed to winds and are warm ; such a situation, I think, is much to be preferred to one that is cold and bleak.
