Just found out my expected source of Beauregard sweet potato slips has them
treated. I remember reference to a web site that had lots of standard and
heirloom sweet potato varieties, but can't find it in my bookmarks. Also
can't find my instructions on searching the list archives. So, please, can
some one point to a good sweet potato source for 100 slips?

Thank you.

There is one source that I know of that has organic sweet potato slips, including some unusual varieties; though quantity is limited, and very limited on most kinds. They don't list Beauregard. This year's brochure says they have Georgia Jet, Tainung 65, Frazier White, Carver, Superior, Regal, and Japanese Yam; only the first two in quantities over 24 slips each. They're not cheap, but the quality and service are both good. (Most years I grow my own slips, only renewing the stock occasionally if production drops off, or in case of disasters; so that keeps my average cost down).

They're in Canada, but do ship to the USA; though note the special instructions for US customers.

I don't think there's a web site.
