A SMOOTH FORM OF THE CHAYOTE. (CHAYOTA EDULIS, SEE S. P. I. NO. 43422.) 
This remarkable variety, without the corrugations so characteristic of the usual forms of the chayote, 
was introduced by Mr. Wilson Popenoe from Guatemala. The attractive appearance and excel- 
lent quality of this smooth, white "guisquil perulero," as it is called by the Guatemalans, make 
it one .of the best forms found in Central America. (Photographed by Wilson Popenoe at 
Guatemala City, Guatemala, October 4, 1916; P16837FS.)
