Remarks:  No satisfactory information as to
what this variety is supposed to be like.
The fruit so closely resembled Nero that
in 1923, 1924, and 1925, it was so identified.
Barnes Best is supposed to have come
from Plymouth, Indiana.

Holland & Co.
Acc. No. 3065, Pom. No. 23872 was also received
in 1902 from Holland & Co. Plymouth, Ind.
as was Acc. No. 3073.  Why 2 lots of supposedly the
same variety were received the same year
from the same source is
not clear.  The orchard

under the variety name 
Nero - but a full identification was never made
