AVOCADOS 
Ahuacate—Alligator Pear 
This tree is a tropical fruit first in¬ 
troduced into California as early as 
1856. It is found in its native habitat 
in Mexico, Guatemala and the West 
Indies. The leading varieties which 
produce the commercial fruits and 
selected seedlings which have proven 
to be of value in size and quality (the 
quality being an essential point in 
selection) are budded on seedling 
roots. 
These trees should be planted in 
warm locations which are not subject 
to biting frosts, as the trees are tender 
and new growths are liable to be in¬ 
jured. Fruits vary in size from \ l /2 to 
6 inches in length and range in color 
from green to purple. The proper 
distance to plant these trees in orchard 
form is 30 feet apart, and the bodies 
should be covered with tree pro¬ 
tectors. 
The fruits are used for salads and 
desserts. When taste is once acquired 
for avocados, people become very fond 
of them. The avocado has the highest 
Avocado food value of any known fruit.
