Avocado Supply Will Never Equal Demand
(E. V. Blackman)

yards, the fruit being for family use,
as there was no market for it.
No new (yet old fruit has ever
been placed on the American market
which has so quickly grown in public
favor as the avocado. Although
within the past few years large
number of groves have been planted
and have come into bearing, yet the
demand far outstripped the supply
twenty-five were the seeding varie
ties, all of which matured during the
sumner Or early fall months.
George B. Cellor, of Miami. was
the first to recognize the avocado as
u coming fruit and he commenced
casting about for variety that ma
turcd later in the season. lie locat-
ed the Trapp, which for sCme years
was inc only late variety known, and
began the. propagation Of this variety.
This variety mas been largely planted
not only in Dade county but in all
the counties in the state where this
fruit IS grown. The United States
department Of agriculture, early in
5ie game recognized the avocado as
a fruit that would come into general
favor and agents. were despatched TO
all tropical countries whore this fruit
was grown, in search of varieties that
matureG later in the season and the
search Of the department has not
been in vain.
The Gautemalan varieties have
been introduced and among them are
many very choice fruits, maturing, it
is said, in every month in the year.
During the years several varieties
have been found in Dade county that
matured their fruits later in the
season.
Generally speaking, throughout the
North the avocado is known and used
extensively as salad fruit" but in
this southern section it is used as
general table fruit. No fruit yet dis4
covered has so quickly come into
general favor as this
In Dade county there are numer-
Jus ldISe groves, WneTe the Gaute-
malan types are being tested out and
through these groves are finding their
way to the markets, with an ever-in-
|creasing demand.
The largest avocado grove. made
up of budded varieties, is the grove
belonging to the Miami Beach In
provement Association, where thou
sands of trees are in full bearing.
Cnas. Deering has from twenty to
thirty acres in budded varieties.

This grove was first planted by S, S.
Bliss.
George B. Cellon (the father of the
avocado industry is also heavy
grower of the budded varieties. 1t
was Mr. Cellon who first discarded
growing the seeding varieties.
w. J. Krone of Homestead, is an
other grower and propagation of all
the new and budded varieties, the
Guatemalan included.
Scattered throughout the county
are numerous groves, ranging from
S to 20 acres each. and each year
large acreages are being planted.
The United States department Of
agriculture has in it's experimental
grove a great number of new varie-
ties, which are being tested out, and
when a tree demonstrates that it's
fruit is worthy of propagation the
buds are being distributed among the
people.
The avocado is probably the most
valuable fruit grown in any mart of
the world. Last season the avocado
brought the growers from S25 to $50
per crate of three dozen fruits, and
in some instances greater price was
received by the growers. The trees
are hardy and so far there are few
diseases that have attacked them
The buds come into bearing in from
two to four years after planting in
the field; however, it has been
found that it is not best to let the
trees bear too young. 1t is far bet
ter to let the trees reach a size when
Fthey will hold two or more crates
the first year Many persons are so
anxious to have their trees come into
bearing that they let them bear too
young, which results in checking the
growth of the trees and it takes two
or three years to recover from the
shock
The question is often asked, How
long before the demand for, avocados
will be metz" In answer, we predict
that there will always be a greater
demand than the supply. The reason
for this is there is but comparatively
a small acreage in Florida that is
adapted to the growth of this fruit
Climatic conditions in the greater
part of what is called South Florida
are such that it is not safe PROPOSE
ii n to plant the avocado. 1t being q
native tropical fruit, the trees will
stand but little frost, hence they
flourish only in parts of South Flori-
da where frosts are not liable to fall.
At the present time Dade county fur
nishes the major portion of avocados
that are sent to the northern mar
kets.
