CAIJFORNIA AVOHADO ASSOCIATTON

In Soups. The avocado is used extensively in the tropics in all kinds of 

 meat soups. Cut in small cubes and add to the soup just before serving. 



For Invalids. The avocado is recommended by physicians as a most de- 

 sirable form of food for invalids. It is highly nutritious, containing as high 

 as 25 per cent of fat in the best varieties, according to Government statistics, 

 and yet is very easily digested, so that the most delicate person can eat it 

 freely. 



The California Ahuacate Association is willing to give any information 

 in its possession to assist producers and users of the fruit. Address 917 

 Union Oil Bldg., Los Angeles.
