SUB-TROPICAL FRUITS 
AVOCADO 
Avocados may be planted throughout the year, however 
the months from February through June are generally prefer- 
able. 
The lower two-thirds of each tree trunk should be wrapped 
with a 2-inch-wide strip of burlap immediately after planting, 
to protect it from the sun. 
Plant trees to the depth of the ball. Space trees from 20 to 
25 feet apart. 
$5.00, unless otherwise noted. 
Duke. To fill the interim between summer and winter avo- 
cados the Duke is one of the most satisfactory. Green pear- 
shaped fruit of outstanding flavor and quality is borne abun- 
dantly through September and October. The tree is large, 
heavily foliaged and well worth growing for its shade and 
ornamental qualities alone. Frost hardy. 
Edranol. Generally speaking summer avocados haven't 
been too popular but here is a variety that seems to have most 
everything—medium sized dark green pear-shaped fruit of 
smooth buttery texture and flavor, small seed, no fiber. As 
the tree grows tall and slender it may be planted in a space 
which would be much too small to accommodate the average 
avocado tree. Hardier than most other summer varieties. May 
to August.

Fuerte. A tried and true variety through many 
years. Bears heavy crops of large, pear-shaped 
green fruit that is “tops” in flavor and quality. 
Probably nine-tenths of the late winter and 
spring avocados you buy in the market are of 
this variety. The tree is wide spreading and pro- 
vides a maximum of dense, welcome shade. Hardy 
to frost. November to May. Illustration on 
page 6. 
Leucadia. Either this variety or the Duke is 
our selection for a fall fruit. Pay your money 
and take your choice! Large, thin-skinned, blue 
black fruit of excellent quality is borne heavily 
and consistently. Vigorous, spreading, frost 
hardy tree. October and November. 
Puebla. Considered by us one of the finest 
home varieties. Occasionally during a lengthy 
cold spell the fruit deteriorates. At all other 
times the small tree bears heavy crops of large 
dark pear-shaped fruit, that in our estimation is 
superior in flavor to any other avocado. We have 
two heavy bearing trees. We wouldn’t trade them 
for a ranch—not even a monkey ranch. Hardy to 
frost. November to January. 
Rockwood. A tree upright.in growth and char- 
acter. Black, pear-shaped fruit to seven inches in 
length is exceptionally rich in oil content and-of 
rich flavor. Small seed. Produces excellent 
crops when quite young. It’s a good one! Hardy 
to frost. January to June. 
Ryan. We've had many folks ask for a sum- 
mer Fuerte. At first we didn’t understand, but 
now we get it, The Ryan is quite similar in ap- 
pearance to the Fuerte in form, color, and size. 
Along in May about the time the Fuerte is off 
the market, the Ryan matures and may be picked 
from then until October. The thrifty, spreading 
tree produces heavy crops year after year with 
consistent regularity.
