SPEEDWELL 
A Brand New, 
Early, Seedling 
Potato 
This cut made from photograph of a Speedwell 
potato on May 15 th shows the splendid 
shape and good keeping qualities of 
this variety. Our seed stock cut 
firm and brittle as newly dug 
potatoes. 
The Speedwell potato 
originated from a seed 
ball; is full of new 
life and vigor and 
is sure to give a 
good account of 
itself for many 
years to come. 
The earliness and 
splendid yield sug- 
gested the name 
"Speedwell.” 
90 Days from 
planting the potatoes 
are ready for table use, 
cook dry and mealy and 
of very finest quality im 
aginable. Tubers are white with 
well netted skin, and as they ripen up 
thoroughly during the fine weather are a 
splendid keeper and in our trials have been 
entirely free from signs of rot or disease of any sort. 
F vprv Hrnwpv should plant at least a part 
ljVCI J f u W cr of his acreage to the Speed- 
well to supply the home table before the later sorts are 
ready and any surplus can be sold in local markets at 
a good price. Under favorable field culture the Speed- 
well has yielded better than 
300 bushels per acre 
and nearly all potatoes were of marketable size. We 
consider the Speedwell a much surer and larger yielder 
than many of the extra early sorts. 
Cortland Co., N, Y., Jan. 10, 1918, 
In 1917 I ordered 10 lbs, of your potatoes and they did more 
than good. I grew 370 lbs. from the 10 lbs. of seed. I am well 
pleased with the seed, and I will recommend your seed to my 
neighbors. (Signed) C. E. Carpenter.
