If possible, it has even done better than ever before, and favorable reports come from all directions. In the report of the Ohio State Horricultural Society, W. J. Green, of the State Experiment Station, says: " Kansas is a promising black-cap, about as large as Gregg; earlier and of better color. It probably excels any of the medium early varieties in size. As much as may be said in favor of the "Kansas," however, it will probably have to give way to another of Ohio origin, which is not new, but still almost unknown.
