. Collected papers on tropical fruits in California. 18 Pomona Colle?? Journal o:p Economic Botany light green, with numerous small, irregular yellowish green dots; skin thin and tender, adhering closely to the flesh; flesh yellowish cream color, changing to pale green near the skin; texture smooth but not very buttery; fibre very slight; flavor rich, nutty; quality very good; seed large, oblong- conical, somewhat compressed, about 25% loose in the cavity; seed cavity medium large; season November to December at Whittier, California. Tree is a vigorous grower and rather spreading in habit, with abundant healthy light green foliage. A very prolific bearer. Here first described. Very similar to the Figure 9. At left the Ganter Avocado, grown at Whittier; at right the Miller, grown at Hollywood. Chappelow (Figure 6 B) Form oblong, slender pyriform or "bottlenecked"; size medium to large for the Mexican type; cavity small, shallow and wrinkled; stem stout; sur- face undulating, smooth, glossy; color dull purple, with reddish brown dots; apex a mere dot, skin very thin, tender, adhering closely; flesh pale greenish yellow, buttery; seed large in proportion to size of fruit, roundish conical, filling internal cavity; flavor pleasant, though less rich than the best varieties of the West Indian type. Season July to October at Monrovia, California. The tree is a vigorous, rather diffuse grower, with slender wood. It is productive, although being an early bloomer it is sometimes caught by frost.— 1905 Yearbook, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. The fruits produced by the original tree show considerable variation in form, and Mr. Chappelow states that they are becoming larger as the tree grows Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Popenoe, Wilson, 1892-1975.
