The postcard features a cranberry bog in the Grayland and Long Beach areas of southwest Washington, known for growing some of the finest berries in the world. Cranberries are typically grown in marshlands adjacent to the ocean, where the acidic soil and cool climate provide ideal conditions for their cultivation. Cranberry bogs are flooded during harvest season to facilitate berry collection. Washington is among the top cranberry-producing states in the US, along with Wisconsin and Massachusetts. The image captures the berries near maturity, ready for harvest.
