THE CUBA REVIEW 



a richer and better flavor than the larger 

 varieties : they are also somewhat hardier 

 than these, but possess a serious commer- 

 cial drawback in that they are thin-skinned, 

 and do not stand shipment. The avo- 

 cados of Guatemala are very different 

 from all other kinds, mainly in the pos- 

 session of an unusually thick and tough 

 skin — a feature that is likely to make them 

 particularly valuable from a commercial 

 standpoint. — Agricultural A^eivs. 



JULY 4th celebration 



The Fourth of July was celebrated in 

 the American colony at Havana by a 

 general suspension of business. Minister 

 Jackson received the diplomatic corps at 

 the legation in the morning, after which 

 he attended, as guest of honor, at a break- 

 fast of the American Club. 



A public reception was given to Minis- 

 ter Jackson at the Miramar gardens in the 

 evening, which was attended by many 

 Americans and Cubans. The principal 

 address was made by Alfredo Zayas, vice- 

 president of the republic, who, in con- 

 cluding an eloquent appreciation of the 

 services of the United States in laying 

 the foundation of the Cuban republic, ex- 

 pressed the hope that the latest member 

 of the family of American republics would 

 remain constant to the traditions of the 

 great democratic motherland. 



The stars and stripes were displayed all 

 over the city and on Morro Castle, and 

 the Municipal Band gave a special con- 

 cert of American airs on the ]\Ialecon.
