According to a note in the Philippine
AGRICULTURAL Review, 1920, the taro (Col-
Ocnsi1 e~scuIentG) known in the West
Indies as tannia, eddoe. dasheen was
formerlv the staple food of the Hawai-
ians. and it is still an important food
plant in Hawaii, where no less than 20O
varieties are cultivated. Considering
thp value of this crop it is interesting
to know that experiments have begun
in Honolulu on the breeding Of new taro
varieties, and there are now under OBJ
servation quite a number Of seedlings.
So far as is known, this is the first at
