Plate XXII, 
The Tertoh Avocado, One of the Largest Guatemalan Varieties. 
The fruits here shown are not yet fully grown. Good specimens of this variety weigh 3 pounds and 
are of excellent quality, the flesh being rich yellow in color, free from all discoloration, and of 
nutty flavor. The seed, as will be noticed in the illustration, is comparatively small. This 
variety has a considerable reputation in the vicinity of the city of Guatemala, owing principally 
to its large size. Avocados weighing more than 2 pounds are rare in Guatemala. (Photographed 
at the city of Guatemala, December 2, 1917; P17466FS.)
