Excerpt from Cape Cod Cranberries
The bog should be in a location well protected from frost, with a bottom of peat, mud, or moss. Cranberries will grow equally well on either foundation. There should be sumcient inclination to the' bog to afford fall enough to allow the water to be drained off to eighteen inches below the surface. If there is not a brook run ning through the bog, there should be a spring, or a pond, above it, capable of affording a sufficient supply of water to ¿ow it readily. If there is water enough to cover the vines completely, it is all that is needed. The bog, after it is three years old, ought to be ¿owed from the first of November until the first of June, as it is then thoroughly vincd, and a crop may be expected. There should be a sufficient supply of coarse sand, suitable for covering it, near the bog.
