I suggest that you take some care about the species names or you could 
get into a real "Who's on first?" situation if you ever depart from the 
cultivars.

Saskatoon is Amelanchier alnifolia.

There are *many* amelanchier species across North America and several
are called serviceberries, and a few juneberries with some overlap
I believe.

Remember that some nurseries are pretty careless about names.
