Newberg-Ju Just west of Newberg are
the famous red hills Of Dundee, where
the Italian prune and the English wal
nut grow to perfection. At the Prince
orchard are the oldest English walnut
trees in the state planted for CONNER
cial purposes. For many miles the
hills are covered with prune trees,
chiefly Italian, though the French
prune, the leading variety in Califor-
MIA, is grown to some extent here, but
it is called the Petite, and does not at
tain the California size.
A trip through some of the prune
orchards in the Dundee district was
made recently. There has been a gem
eral impression that the crop would be
light. In some orchards that proved
to be true, but the prunes are unusual
ly large.
1t was fortunate for the prune orch.
ardists that the hop picking .ea~--
