The Cabnal Avocado, an Excellent Midseason Variety. 
The present ideal of avocado growers in the United States is a round fruit of about 1 pound in 
weight, with a small seed and flesh free from fiber and of rich flavor. In the variety here shown 
these characteristics are combined to an unusual degree. The surface is slightly rough and green 
in color, the skin thick and woody. The flesh is cream yellow in color and of 'distinctive flavor. 
The parent tree bore an excellent crop in 1917, ripening from March to June, which is about a 
month later than the average. (Photographed, natural size, at Antigua, Guatemala, May 4, 
1917; P17262FS.)
