A Guatemalan Girl Holding a Cluster of Tumin Avocados. 



(Persea americana Mill., S. P. I. No. 44627.) 



This variety, the Tumin, is now being propagated in Florida and California from bud wood 

 obtained by Mr. Popenoe from the tree which yielded the fruits shown here. The Tumin 

 avocado is unusually productive, its fruits growing in clusters of two to six. These fruits 

 resemble closely in form the Trapp variety, weigh about a pound, and have a smooth, 

 glossy, purple-black skin. Thev are of good quality. (Photographed by Wilson Popenoe, 

 Antigua, Guatemala, February 24, 1917: P17112FS.)
