Excerpt from The Avocado in GuatemalaN 0 data regarding the annual production of avocados in Guate mala are available. While avocados are grown in practically all parts of Guatemala, certain regions are especially renowned for their product and supply most of the fruits sold in the larger cities and towns. These regions all lie at elevations above feet and are not only the greatest producers of avocados but the great horticultural centers of the republic. Favored by climatic conditions and possessing an exceedingly fertile soil, they have long been cultivated intensively by the Indians.Antigua, the former capital of Guatemala, which lies about 25 miles from the present capital, is the center of one of the leading avocado regions, perhaps also one of the greatest in the world both for quality and quantity of the fruit, though in quantity it soon will be outclassed by the avocado districts of Florida and California.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
