History

  • Introduced in 1889 by W. Atlee Burpee (?)
  • SSE TOMATO 5473.
  • United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), PI 303709.
  • Carolyn Male posted at GardenWeb tomato forum on April 27, 2003 that "What I show in my book as Matchless is Quarter Century. Craig determined that Matchless was not rugose leafed, from doing some research, and now has grown out what he feels to be Matchless, from another USDA accession number."
