Default Sowing cranberry seeds

The message
from "middleton.walker" contains these words:

I will check locally for you to see if I can come up with
something...I know
that germinating them can be somewhat eratic and mostly are not propagated
via seed...but will do me best to come up with an answer.....they are
native
plants around here and within 1/2 mile of where I live are acres upon acres
of them grown commercially....a beautiful sight to see in the fall
when they
are being harvested....literally millions of them floating on the
water....H


Thanks. How wet do the conditions have to be, then? Our native cranberry
likes damp ericaceous peat, but I've never seen it actually growing *IN*
water.

I wouldn't mind some blueberries the same size...
