AGUACATE. (Alligator pear)
The ag'uacate is one of the master–
pieces of creation as to flavor, consistency
and nutritive properties. Its use is being
extended rapidly and it is bound to
become, in time, as popular as the banana.
It
is eaten generally raw with no other
adjunction than a little salt, but is exce–
llent as a salad, cut up, with plain French
dressing.
