Ahuacate—Alligator Pear 
This tree is a tropical fruit first introduced 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 seed¬ 
lings 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 injured. 
Fruits vary in size from iy 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 protectors. 
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 
food value of any known fruit.
