The cranberry industry : its possibilities in Canada / by M.B. Davis.: A12-2/19-1923E-PDF

"The culture of cranberries, although not a widely established industry in the Dominion as yet, can be conducted with profit in many sections which at present know practically nothing of the growing and care of this crop. With the exception of the work done on a few bogs in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and British Columbia, very little has been done in Canada to further the production of this crop, although there are, doubtless, many acres of unemployed land suitable for cranberry bogs."--p. 3.
