Remarks:
Scions received as Illinois Favorite 3/13/08
specimens received from Arlington
the above 3 years labeled Nero, that conclusion
having been indicated in 1926. In the
notes made 4/17/29 reporting on cold storage
fruit it was noted: 'There may be tree differences
but the fruit is identical within a
varietal range, in every particular with
that from J:4:5, Acc. No. 7207 which is
supposed to be Illinois Favorite', but I see
no reason for not regarding  both of them
as Nero. (No Acc. card for No. 7207)
