Etris
Origin / History
A new variety from Benton County, Arkansas (Budd and Hansen). Beach: the variety propagated under this name in Arkansas may be a new variety but appears to be identical with Gano (citing Stinson, Arkansas Station Bulletins 49, 1898, and 60, 1899). Budd and Hansen quote Prof. J. T. Stinson (Arkansas Experiment Station Bulletin 49): "This variety resembles Gano very closely. As far as I am able to judge, there is practically no difference. It also resembles Ragan's Red and Arkansas Belle, both of this county."
