PI. 285. 
A NEW DAHLIA FOR PLANT BREEDERS. 
(Dahlia maxonii Safford, S. P. I. No. 49328.) 
The three flowers here shown are from a single plant of a lilac-pink form of Dahlia maxonii 
that Mr. Wilson Popenoe found near Coban in the Alta Vera Paz, Guatemala. The 
double flower on the right and the semidouble one in the center of the picture arose as 
bud sports from the typical single-flowered plant. (Photographed by Mr. Popenoe, 
Tactic, Guatemala, January 9, 1920; P17707FS.)
