HISTORIC CASTLE

Hurstmonceux Castle in Sussex. built in 1441 and carefully restor- ed in later years. is believed the finest early brick building in Eng- land.

Cranberrie-

When the English colonists land- ed in New England they found many semiswamp areas overrun with cranberry vines. The Indians valued this bitter fruit very high- ly, both as food used with meat and when crushed and used as a poultice for blood poisoning. Their Indian name when translated was "bitter berry." The white people observed that the cranberry was a favorite foodifor cranes and called it crane-berry. In time this was changed to cranberry. I

The colony of Massachusetts, in 1677. sent ten bushels of cranber- ries to King Charles of England asa gift. They called them the ”choicest product of the colony." The colonists learned from the Indians to use them with the meat of game animals and birds. It is probable that this was the begin- ning of the very general practice of serving cranberries with Thanksgiving turkey dinners.

Cranberries are native to most North Temperate and Sub-Arctic countries of America, Asia and Europe. There are a number of Species and considerable varia- tion among the individual plants of each species.

The common bog cranberry of America, Vaccinium macrocar. pon Ait.. sometimes referred to as

its fruit on vines. It is the cran-

berry of commerce and the only

species that has been cultivated. The so-called thigh-bush" cran-

is sometimes used as a substitute for the bog cranberry. It is closely related to one of our common or- namental shrubs, snowball. . . .

l,There is a small spicy cranberry. Vaccinium Oxycoccus Linn, known locally as the grey cranberry. It is also called spicebcrry, or buck- berry. It is a shy bearer and diffi- cult to pick from its thread-like vines.

Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea var min- us Lodd, is another uanberry that is common on our Canadian ex- posed coastal and more northern barren regions. It is known by many names, partridge berry, rock cranberry, etc. Its fruit rip- cns earlier than the bog cranberry. is softer and highly coloured. J. M. Mlacoun wrote about it as fol- lows:

"Along the Gnspe Coast and the north shore of the Gulf of St. Law- rence, the fisheimen's families gather this fruit in large quanti- ties for their own use and for sale, calling it the "low-bush" cranber- ry, amd throughout the whole of northern Canada, hunters and trappers, as well as native Indians. have frequently to depend upon it
