Dietz Prune 
DIETZ PRUNE 
We had almost given up hopes that we would ever be able to grow prunes success- 
fully here in Minnesota and were surprised to find here in our very own county in a 
Bohemian community a lot of true prunes growing and bearing heavy crops. These 
prunes are somewhat small, being about % inch in diameter and an inch long. Sweet, 
an intense black covered with a heavy blue bloom, and borne in great quantities all 
along the limbs. Makes up into splendid prune sauce. Brought here from southern 
Russia. Absolutely hardy. Fine heavy limbed, 3 to 4 ft. trees, $1.50 each

JUNEBERRY 
The Juneberry resembles in every way the blue- 
berry. Looks like the blueberry, tastes like it, and 
makes pies and sauce like it. But you can culti- 
vate and grow the Juneberry right in the garden, 
with just the ordinary cultivation as given other 
shrubs, while you cannot grow the Blueberry with- 
out going to considerable trouble. The Juneberry 
is also a beautiful shrub to have for early blooming 
in big clumps in the border where it will bloom 
and bear fruit. The Juneberry is a very easy shrub 
to grow, as it adapts itself to almost every soil and 
all sorts of moisture conditions. It is extremely 
hardy and is to be found growing wild in its dif- 
ferent species from northern Michigan to Montana. 
Plant a dozen plants 4 feet apart; in a few years 
they will have spread together and bear quantities 
of delicious fruit each year for many years.
