Show The Alligator Pear. Thcro Is a growing demand for a tropical fruit, now very little known, the alligator pear. It Is a pear onljf In shnpe and is set veil as a salad of relish rather than as a fruit. Tho pears now bring from 30 to GO cents apiece In the markets of Now York, London and Parts, a ridiculous price due to tho fact that, being In small demand the supply Is very small, but they are steadily growing in favor, and Porto Rico is able to-day to send them to market In large quantities and of tho very beat quality. |
