  "Roop. 
  A 
  very 
  good 
  late 
  variety 
  which 
  Mr. 
  Roop 
  states 
  always 
  produces 
  generous 
  

  

  crops 
  of 
  fruit 
  which 
  ' 
  hang 
  on 
  ' 
  late 
  in 
  December 
  and 
  January. 
  This 
  season 
  the 
  Trapp 
  

  

  and 
  most 
  other 
  late 
  avocados 
  ripened 
  and 
  dropped 
  their 
  fruit 
  earlier 
  than 
  usual, 
  

  

  speaking 
  well 
  for 
  the 
  persistent 
  properties 
  of 
  this 
  variety. 
  I 
  consider 
  the 
  flavor 
  

  

  superior 
  to 
  the 
  Trapp; 
  the 
  seed 
  always 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  firm, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  unfortunately 
  rather 
  

  

  large 
  in 
  proportion 
  to 
  the 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  fruit."
