A Perfect Prune

Wilmington, Del.-The perfect
prune" is soon to be grown in Ameri-
ca, Prof. L. r. Detjen of Delaware
college announced in an address be-
fore the thirty fourth annual con-
vention of the Peninsula Horticui-
tural society.
Describing his super prune, which
is to be evolved from a domestic
plum, Professor Detjen said it would
be the first time an American variety
had been adapted to prune purposes,
the output hitherto having been
grown from European varieties.
Professor Detjen explained that
his plum, while of no commercial
value now, will be carefully bred un-
til it becomes the ancestor of an
American prune aristocracy which,
he said will be the breeding stock
for a new and harder race of prunes
for eastern America"
