THE PEERLESS WINTER 

 RIPENING AVOCADO 



Judged on its merits this fruit stands at the head of the list. Ripening 

 season from October to March. We have picked this fruit AS IT 

 RIPENED and have made weekly shipments since October and there 

 are at this time (Jan. 18, 1917) several dozen fruits still on the tree. 



Color when ripe, attractive maroon. This obviates the danger of picking 

 unripe fruit.
