The Cabnal Avocado, an Excellent Midseason Variety. 



The present ideal of avocado growers in the United States is a round fruit of about 1 pound in 

 weight, with a small seed and (lesh free from fiber and of rich llavor. In the variety here shown 

 these characteristics are combined to an unusual degree. The surface is slightly rough and green 

 in color, the skin thick and woody. The flesh is cream yellow in color and of distinctive flavor. 

 The parent tree bore an excellent crop in 1917, ripening from March to June, which is about a 

 month later than the average. (Photographed, natural size, at Antigua, Guatemala, May 4, 

 1917; P17202FS.)
