Gano is an apple cultivar recorded as ST. In this source, ST means standard-size fruit, 5 cm or more, and not a crabapple class entry [S1][S2].
Its origin is only weakly documented. The directory entry calls it "Ben Davis sdlg?", suggesting it may be a Ben Davis seedling. Another prairie-apple note places Gano among Ben Davis seedlings and says these forms were improved lineages, but the sentence is cut off on the source page [S1][S2].
The entry also gives the synonym note "Reagan, and others." It lists Starkes, CGS (Brooks), and Smithfield as references for this cultivar, but those sources are not expanded in the packet [S1][S2].
No direct source statements in this packet describe flavor, color, ripening window, storage, tree habit, disease behavior, or hardiness zone. The available material identifies Gano mainly by name, tentative ancestry, class code, and archival references [S1][S2].
