COLMAN'S CANE. 



This variety excelled in 1889 and was one of the best in 1890. All of 

 the lots gave canes of good quality this season, except some which 

 were ruined by drought, owing to some peculiarity of soil. It gives 

 stocky canes of good size,-when not planted too thickly, which mature 

 at the same time as the Early Orange. It is considered one of the best 

 varieties. Twenty-one lots were planted, two being 1 acre each.
