Figure 28.— Bud variation in Fuerte avocado (one- 

 half natural size). On right normal Fuerte fruit, 

 on left round fruit of Redoudo type produced on 

 the same budded tree of the Fuerte ou the ranch 

 of Mr. J. T. Whedon. at Yorba Linda, Cal. The 

 tendency of this variety to produce two types of 

 fruit is said to be the cause for the naming of 

 two varieties, Fuerte and Redondo, when they 

 were imported from Mexico. The Redondo is now 

 known to be the round fruited bud variation of 

 the Fuerte. (Photo by Citrus Experiment Station)
