PLANT THEM N PROSPER

The avocado is a crop we all know because it is SO COM
monty a part of our surroundings. That familiarity with the
avocado extends over all the Caribbean Islands, and the
mainland from California down through Northern South
America. In the areas where it has always been known,
consumption is high. But consumption is generally low where
Supplies of the crop must be brought from distant producing
areas. The continental United States is presently becoming
acquainted viii the crop, and its high standard Of living
will surely increase consumer demand for that fruit.
The actual value of the avocado in the diet is usually
realized by most West Indians. One tropical horhculturist
has said that an acre of land when planted to avocadoes,
will WELD a. larger amount of food than it will if planted to-
any other crop that we know today. The secret is in the oil
content. Only the olive can be claimed as a comparable
source of fruit oil. Other crops provide energy to the con-
sumner as carbohydrates.
There are three races Of avocadoes known today. These
are the Mexican, Guatemalan, and West Indian races. Their
characteristics are distinct, and they are related to the adj
vantages and disadvantages Of growing each. For example,
the fruit surface Of the West Indian and Mexican race is
smooth, but the surface Of Guatenalan Avocadoes is pebbled,
or even very rough. The seeds of the West Indian fruits are
loose in the ripe fruit, while the seeds in the other two races
are tight. Loose seeds cause internal bruising druing transit
to market, and are a distinct fault. a very important charac-
%teristic is ripening season.
Our West Indian varieties ripen during July, August,
and September. The varieties of the other races ripen later.
Ripening season Of the Mexican varieties is through Novem-
ember December, and January. The Gueatmalan varieties
ripen from November through April
When selecting varieties to plant, it is important to keep
in mind the characteristics of the variety. Characters of both
fruit and tree should be judged. The fruits should be medium
in size, attractive, with a smooth, dark green skin
Time Of ripening is important. A variety should be select
eds So as to ripen when West Indian seedlings are not matur-
ing their fruits. To do otherwise is to invite marketing d-
saster. When everyone has a~vocadoes to sell, no one can get
a price. The idea is to be marketing fruits when few other

fruits are available.

Trees Of named varieties can be acquired most easily
by direct purchase from nurserymen~ However, if you want
to save money, and yet want to plant better varieties, do
your own budding or grating. IF you don't know how, we'll
show you. All you need is some local seedlings in which buds
or scions of named varieties can be placed. Also, there are
local people who can do that job of budding or grating for
you.
