   Quoted 
  note 
  by 
  Mr. 
  R. 
  Wenger, 
  of 
  Newberg, 
  Oreg., 
  who 
  suggested 
  the 
  procuring 
  

   of 
  this 
  prune. 
  

  

  "This 
  prune 
  resembles 
  the 
  Italian, 
  but 
  is 
  much 
  larger 
  and 
  contains 
  more 
  sugar. 
  

   It 
  is 
  locally 
  known 
  as 
  the 
  'grafted 
  prune.' 
  I 
  have 
  had 
  considerable 
  experience 
  in 
  

   prune 
  growing 
  in 
  this 
  State, 
  and 
  I 
  am 
  confident 
  that 
  if 
  this 
  prune 
  would 
  do 
  as 
  well 
  

   here 
  as 
  it 
  did 
  at 
  Langenbuhl, 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  of 
  great 
  benefit 
  to 
  the 
  entire 
  Northwest."
