AVOCADOS 
Since Avocados do not come true from seed, we offer 
only the finest grafted plants in varieties that we have 
found hardy enough to recommend for Central Florida. 
Much depends upon having a good root system and a 
strong graft. Our best bargain, which gives real satis- 
faction, is our big heavy trees from nail kegs. 
We learned a long time ago that Avocados must have 
rich soil and plenty of moisture. If you cannot supply these 
requirements, your efforts are wasted. Plant grafted trees 
in pits well prepared with ample plant food such as muck 
peat, dairy manure, leaf mold or other organic material. 
Other necessities are abundant moisture at all times, 
mulching and spraying with copper and other sprays as 
instructed in bulletins from the State Experiment Station. 
Our grafted trees grow very fast when properly cared for, 
and bear in three or four years. 
Gottfried. A very vigorous tree, quite hardy. Ripens Aug., 
Sept. 
Lula. A. Pear-shaped fruit. Light green skin; flesh pale to 
greenish yellow. Very productive. Ripens Dec., Jan. 
Taylor. A. Small to medium size. Dark skin and light 
yellow flesh. Ripens Dec., Jan., Feb. 
Winter Mexican. B. Oblong or broad pear-shaped fruit 
with dark leathery skin. Vigorous and hardy. Dec., Jan. 
Best-quality grafted Avocados in nail-keg sizes. 2 to 5 feet.
