Before Columbus came to the new world, the tangy wild cranberries had an important place in everyday life here. Indian squaws used cranberries to brighten up food. The Wampanoag Indians of Cape Cod area treated wounds from poisoned arrows with a cranberry dressing. Squaws made their rugs and blankets colorful with the red cranberry juice. Pilgrim women learned of this wild berry from the friendly Indians. They soon began to create their own ways of fixing cranberries for their tables. They made cranberry sauces, bubbling tarts and nogs. [Illustration: IT’S BEAUTIFUL, DEAR] The Naming of the Berries Cranberries were called different names by different Indians: “Sassamanesh” by eastern Indians and “Atoqua” by the Algonquians in Wisconsin. In New Jersey, where cranberries were the symbol of peace, “Pakimintzen” meant cranberry eater. The word “cranberry” was a contraction of crane berry, an early name given to the berries because their pale pink blossoms resembled the head of a crane. Cranes were seen in the lowlands, enjoying the berries. [Illustration: PAKIMINTZEN—HEAP GOOD] The Taming of the Berries Cultivation of cranberries began in Massachusetts nearly 200 years after the landing of the Pilgrims. In 1816 Henry Hall of Dennis, Cape Cod, noticed that cranberries seemed to grow larger and juicier where sand from the dunes blew over the vines. Cultivation today came from this simple observation made more than 150 years ago. Cranberries grow on peat soil that has been covered with a three inch layer of sand. Cuttings or branches from existing cranberry vines are planted deep enough to take root in the peat soil beneath the sand. The vines, planted about six inches apart, gradually spread over the ground forming a thick green carpet. The vines are weeded in the spring, pruned in the fall, fertilized and resanded every three or four years. Vines are protected from frost by flooding and irrigated in time of drought. [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] Birds are needed to control the insects. Bees pollinate the blossoms. Cranberries were first picked by hand then by wooden fingered scoops which combed the berries from the vines. Since World War II, the scoops have been replaced by mechanical pickers which complete the harvest faster and cut down risk of frost damage. [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] The Testing of the Berries Every cranberry delivered to a receiving station must measure up to the highest standards of quality before it can travel under the Ocean Spray label. After passing through a machine which blows out the chaff, a cranberry must demonstrate that it’s got bounce. Bounce? That’s right. You wonder why? It’s this simple—a good firm berry will bounce. A soft berry won’t. Mechanical separators give each berry seven chances to bounce over four-inch wooden barriers. Berries that don’t have the necessary bounce are discarded. Only the lively ones go on to the screening room where canvas belts carry them between rows of sharp-eyed women who pick out any not up to Ocean Spray’s standards of appearance. After proving themselves worthy of the Ocean Spray label, cranberries for the fresh market go to packaging machines. Those for ready-to-serve products go either to wash tanks for immediate processing or to freezers which hold them until they’re needed. Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc. is a national cooperative with grower-members in five cranberry-growing states: Massachusetts, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Washington and Oregon. They produce an annual harvest of over 200 million pounds of cranberries.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
