The Anay, A New Relative of the Avocado. (Hufelandi a anay Blake, S. P. I . 



No. 43432.) 



The anay grows wild in northern and western Guatemala. Its fruit resembles an avocado of the Mexi- 

 can race in general appearance. The flavor is exceedingly pleasant, but the flesh is rather scanty. 

 This species may prove of value in connection with avocado breeding in the United States. (Photo-
