The outstanding feature in the 'nat- ter of our location on the map is that this part •of the Province.,is the most Southern portion' of all .Canada: Here we have a milder climate than; most of the Provincesand en our Southern border an early fruit season which is •the basis of great and increasing pro- duction.
