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.
