Killer), "Early Golden" or "Bermuda Eed" head 

 the list. 



The Louisiana Bulletins repeatedly refer to cer- 

 tain varieties as commonly cultivated or standards 

 of excellence. In Bulletin 13, p. 329, it is said that 

 the "Georgia Yam," also called "Common Louisi- 

 ana Yam, " is in general cultivation throughout that 

 State. "Southern Queen" ranks next to the 

 "Georgia" and "Sugar Yam" in popularity. 



Bulletin 21, p. 648, confirms this, with the addi-

 in that region (near Ealeigh) is the "Baydus" (cor-
