THE
AVOCADO OR
PEAR.
ALLIGATOR
For many years the avocado has
heen brought to this country from
Mexico, and In
limited number
has been in the
markets of late
from north to
south. Even now
the demand for
the frnlt at al
most prohibitive
prices, far exceeds the supply. Ex
perimenters have tested to their satis
faction that this much prized fruit
can be produced commercially in a
wide area of territory and they are
busy developing an Industry that
gives much promise. The avocado be
longs to the laurel family and Is a
native of tropical - and semi-tropical
America. The tree is large and spread
ing, its leathery leaves of a spicy
taste and odor. The bay tree, whose
leaves are used largely for seasoning,
belongs to the laurel family. The
frnlt of the avocado varies In ahape
from round to pear-shaped, with color
from green tp deep purple, weighing
from a few ounces tip to five pounds.
It contains a large single seed around
which is a thick creamy yellow and
green-colored flesh, of delightful nutty
flavor. The thick-skinned frnlt is more
often shipped, as It carries well. It
has been said of the avocado that It
is in a class by Itself. It la a natural
I combination of food-fruit and oil. It
averages 084 calories, or heat unite
per pound, more than twice the maxi
mum calories of the best fresh fruits.
Its fuel value corresponds to 75 per
cent of that of cereals. Its chief val
ue however Is In its fat content, which
In some cases Is as htgb as 28 to SO
per cent. The only fruit comparable
to It Is the olive and that la a proc
i essed fruit The Increase in popula
tion, making land too valuable mere-
ly for producing meat, makes the
production of sncb a substitute worthy
of consideration,
j In Cuba the fruit la cut In halves
and the seed removed. In the cavity
I ot the frnlt place half a dozen stuffed
olives and pour over a lemon juice
dressing slightly sweetened. Serve on
lettuce leaf, a naif frnlt to each per
son, to be eaten with a spoon.
