THE PARENT TREE OF THE FUERTE AVOCADO 



At the present time no tree in Atlixco is of greater interest to Californians than the 

 parent Fuerte, which stands in the garden of Alejandro Le Blanc. It is believed to be about 

 60 years old, and its crown is approximately 25 feet high and 30 feet in spread. 



THE MEXICAN AVOCADO 



This large tree, almost ideal in form, is growing in the edge of a small wheat field. Its 

 development has been unhindered, and the cultural conditions are unusually favorable. 

 Such a tree should yield annually several thousand small fruits.
