THE 1891 CROP OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. A. J. Rider, Secretary of the American Cranberry Growers’
Association, estimates the entire crop of Cranberries grown in 1891
as follows:
New England 480,000 bush.
New Jersey 250,000 ”
The West 30,000 ”
-------
Total 760,000 ”
Showing that the crop for the entire country was short 100,000
bushels, when compared with the 1890 crop.
THE FERTILIZER FOR CRANBERRIES.
Bradley’s Superphosphate, “the old reliable,” has been successfully
used in the cultivation of Cranberries for many years past.
It is, as every one knows, the best general fertilizer on the market.
By _practical experience_, and not by fallacious (though plausible)
_theories_, it has demonstrated its entire fitness for growing
the best Cranberries and producing the largest crops. It has been
repeatedly noticed that Cranberries grown on this fertilizer are more
highly colored, harder, and better “keepers” than those raised under
ordinary conditions of cultivation.
As Bradley’s Phosphate contains the very choicest quality of plant
foods in such forms and proportions as long practical experience has
demonstrated will most fully satisfy the demands of the crop for a
complete and nutritious fertilizer, it wholly meets the requirements
of the Cranberry, as has been abundantly proven by exhaustive tests
on the largest bogs.
