Sweet Potatoes

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

In Southern California grocery stores they sell two things: a "yam" that
has pointy ends, beautiful orange flesh, and a slightly slimy texture, and
a "sweet potato" that is shaped like a regular potato, has a rather
ordinary-looking yellow flesh, texture that is fluffy like a regular
potato, and a flavor that is far sweeter and tastier than the "yam."

Now that I live in Virginia (zone 7) I have discovered that the "sweet
potato" is not available in the local Safeway (they've got "yams" up the
wazoo) so I want to grow it next year.

Can anybody recommend a source for the "sweet potato" that I want? And how
will it fare under the square foot system?

As you might be able to deduce from all those quote marks, I am aware of
the whole mis-nomer aspect of sweet potatoes and yams. All I really want is
to eat them; I don't care what I should be calling them.
