A New Fruit For Colorado.
From the Colorado Farmer. v

from inc COlorauo FARMER.
The improved dwarf Juneberry can hardly
be called a new fruit, as in some forms it is
native in our foot hills, and is known to a
good many old Coloradoans but in its i'm
proved dwarf form it is far superior to the
| native, the fruit is finer and the shrub
more prolific. Several fruit growers in the
State have it now bearing for them, and are
delighted with it and consider it one of the
coming fruits of this State. 1t is delicious
us the New England huckleberry, and is so
hardy and easily cultivated.
1t will certainly pay every reader of this
article to plant few roots of this delicious
fruit for their own use, rs they cost but little
The editor of this department has fruited
the dwarf Juneberry OH his grounds and any
one wishing to see the bushes can do by
calling on him. Hear what prominent fruit
growers of Nebraska and Missouri have to
say regarding this berry:
"For several years we have been watching
the Juneberry and have come to the conclu
sion that it is one of the most valuable ber.
ries, and it should be planted on every farm
in the West.
The wood is hard and firm and endures the
extremes of our climate without injury. Its
leaves are dark glossy green. and very
much resembles the pear.
The flowers appear about the same time
rs those of the apple and are white, and are
ornamental as well as fragrant. The fruit is
borne in clusters like the currant and ripens
in June; its size equals the wild gooseb-rry;
shape round; color, reddish purple at first
and becomes u blueish black when ripened.
Its flavor approaches the huckleberry, n
mild very rich sub-acid.
1t may be served with sugar and cream or
cooked for sauce, and is splendid canned for
winter use.
The plant is about the height aud form of
the currant bush.
1t produces fruit in enormous quantities
and bears every year.
1t is perfectly hardy not being injured by
wet, cold or dry weather, and needs no spec
ial treatment. Rabbits do not injure it, and

The plant seems to flourish in all soils aud
