1 24 Bumper Calavo Crop â€" > Starts Food Sensation This year, an unprecedented crop of calavos is being poured into the market and> prices are /gradually feeling the effect. Without doubt every homemaker will find calavos within reach of her budget this comâ€" PAGE SIX ing season. â€" _Calavos belong ‘to the general avocado family which is a member, botanically speaking, of the laurel clan. Many ,varied names have been given this modgrnized fruit of troâ€" pical origin. There is a rich historâ€" ical background, from the ahuacatl of Aztec times, and original names from various countries such as anay, palta.and ahuacaquahuitl, to the modeérn corruption of "alligator pear" and what was at first considâ€" ered a misnomer, the avocado. California â€" horticulturists â€" have produced the calavo by a long proâ€" gess ‘of elimination. â€" It has taken more than a decade, since the first introduction, of importance, into the state. Now for oxer ten years the growers‘ own organization and exâ€" perienced avocado enthusiasts have been comparing varieties, eliminatâ€" ing some and perfecting others, gradually reaching toward a stanâ€" dard of keeping quality, food value and fruit flavor that is dependable. No housewife has the time to learn the hundreds of variety names and descriptions of avocados, and the calavo stamp makes it unnecesâ€" sary. It.assures her that expert selâ€" ection has been made for her. Out of 500 varieties grown in California at present, only thirteen qualify to be given the tiny golden stamp which labels them as the aristocrat of salad fruits. es Horticulturists who are informed on the subject believe that in ten years, considering the rapidity with which avocado groves are being "topworked" (literally changed over from poor to high grade vari¢ties), the poorer varieties will be eliminâ€" ated and only fruits of calavo qualâ€" ity produced. . a #f is apt to soften unevenly, permitâ€" ting spoilage and waste.= Fruit oil content and the fiavor which is bound : up with its fullest developâ€" ment is certain to suffer if the fruit is picked before that highly desirâ€" able stage of ripeness or maturity is reached. ; Among other things, the tiny yelâ€" low calavo stamp insures fruit maâ€" tured on the tree. Immature fruit Although calavos are always m.] tured on the tree, they must soften after picking. To judge the right stage for serving, take a calavo in. both hands, and press gently with both palms, avoiding pressure with thumbs and fingers. There is no: difficulty in judging if the fruit is sufficiently . soft, It will yield to gentle pressure.. The stage that precedes softness is one of elasticity and is not to be confused with the soft stage.
