| Tropical Fruits Grow Here
The climate and soil of this district favour the production
of the very best varieties of apples, pears, plums, prunes, peaches, cherries,
grapes and all sorts of small fruits; watermelons, sweet potatoes, tobacco,
peanuts and many other things which the ordinary Canadian never dreams
of being grown in his own country. Every advantage that kindly nature can
bestow is here abundantly provided and only the skillful hand of the producer
is needed to make the land a continuous garden. |
