For the sweet potato is not truly a potato but rather the genealogy of its plant trails along with the morning-g'lory vine. The sweet potato loves a long summer and a warm one. The people of South America, southern United States, the East Indies certainly don't let it go unappreciated unappre-ciated but eat and relish it.
