thirds of the total strawberry acreage of Canada, was in the 

 province of Ontario, mainly in the southern part. The 

 counties of Halton, Lincoln, Norfolk, Peel and Winthrop 

 have the largest shipping points. There is a considerable 

 acreage in the province of Quebec — about 1355 acres in 

 1911. It is mainly in the counties of Deux Montagnes, 

 Laval and Terrebonne, near the cities of Quebec and Mon- 

 treal. British Columbia is the only other province that 

 produces strawberries in quantity; in 1911 there were 978 

 acres, centering mainly in Nanaimo and New Westminster 

 counties, on Puget Sound. Late berries from Nova Scotia 

 have been an important factor on the Boston market since 

 1865. The 372 acres in this province are mainly in King's 

 and Yarmouth. The province of New Brunswick has a 

 promising strawberry industry in King's County.
