Plate V. 



Tubers of the White Yampee, a Variety of Yam Grown in the Canal 

 Zone. (Dioscorea trifida L. f., S. P. I. No. 42053.) 



This yampee is of fine quality and will furnish the South with another food equal to the best 

 potatoes if it can be grown there successfully. When baked or when peeled and boiled it 

 resembles a mealy potato and approximates it in food value, though slightly lower in protein.
