November to February. Gano.—Origin, Missouri; a seedling of Ben Davis, much grown inits native .state. It may be described in Ijrief as a solid-colored BenDavis, the broad dark crimson splashes Ijeing lost in the depth of col-oring, and is a fruit of very attractive api:>earance. The Black BenDavis resembles Gano closely and for a time the two «-ere consideredidentical. The basin of Gano is nearly smooth and more abrupt; theseeds are larger; the calyx tulje is funnel-shaped with usually a longslender stem to the funnel; stamens marginal; cells obovate, nearlyentire; flesh like that of Ben Davis, season the same.
