Brownell's Superior Potatoes
A cross between Brownell's Beauty and the Peachblow. During an unprecedented drought, when many older varieties did not pay for digging, 673 pounds were grown from one pound of seed. It ripens second early, keeps well during winter, and retains its mealiness through the entire season. Its tubers are medium large, oval in form, of a peculiar dark copper color, very uniform and handsome in appearance. Skin very fine and smooth; eyes very few and small.
