Excerpt from Cranberries in West Virginia A second locality both in order Of development and commer cial importance is found in New Jersey, and a third in Wisconsin, While in our mountain glade country we have the possibility of a fourth. As early as 1860 many barrels Of cranberries found their way from these glade lands into the markets Of Cincinnati. Later, settlement, fire, and grazing animals almost exterminated these Wild plants and they were practically forgotten until 1894, when the Horticulturist of the Experiment Station conceived the idea Of developing this natural resource. Since that time persistent effort has been made to establish such an industry on the glade lands Of Preston county on the farm of J. W. Gusem in. At pres ent the plats are thoroughly established and three of them are of bearing age. The product from the named sorts is of large size and of superior color. The vines bear abundantly and regularly and so far have been remarkably free both from insect pests and diseases. Selection OF A site - In determining upon a suitable location for a cranberry plantation in this State one may be guided somewhat by the plants found growing Wild in the vicinity. Sphagnum moss, native cranberries, wool grass, and other bog loving plants are Often found in regions best suited to cranberry culture.
