The Tertoh Avocado, One of the Largest Guatemalan Varieties. 



The fruits here shown are not yet fully grown. Good specimens of this variety weigh 3 pounds and 

 are of excellent quality, the flesh being rich yellow in color, free from all discoloration, and of 

 nutty flavor. The seed, as will be noticed in the illustration, is comparatively small. This 

 variety has a considerable reputation in the vicinity of the city of Guatemala, owing principally 

 to its large size. Avocados weighing more than 2 pounds are rare in Guatemala. (Photographed 

 at the city of Guatemala, December 2, 1917; P17466FS.)
