much of the land once devoted in this area to hollygrowing but Canadians should still be able to deck their halls this Christmas because of fine 1979 crop Holly producers in southern Vancouver Island have just tied up their final shipments for this year and many say this years growth of the red berries and green prickly leaves is the best in recent memory The Victoria area and the southeast coast of the island produces about 90 per cent of Canadas holly crop The rest comes from the BC mainland area south of Vancouver The hoilv industry in Victoria has gone through considerable change in the last five years Many of the growing enthusiasts of the early 19705 several of them from Britain where holly plays big role at Christmas have died or retired Meanwhile the growth of Victoria and its suburbs notably Saanich has meant encroach ment of residential subdivisions on land which once produced holly Many growers especially those nearing retirement found there was no comparison between the money they could make from holly production and the income they could get by selling off chunks of land to developers When Toronto bus driver Robert Kent tells youngsters hes taking them to the North
