History

  • Old heirloom from China, collected in 1931 in Peiping, China by the USDA - Bureau of Plant Industry, Washington, District of Columbia.
  • First offered in the Seed Savers 2006 Yearbook by Norbert R. Pikovsky, Johnstown, Pennsylvania (PA PI N2), who got the seeds from the USDA.
  • United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), PI 92864.
  • Collected by the USDA in 1931 in China. Locality: Peiping Habitat: the East Market.
  • USDA narrative:
"Obtained in the East Market, Peiping, March 2, 1931. A yellow tomato. "
  • Obviously there must be some seed mixup or crossing, as the SSE members who got the seeds from the USDA reported small red fruits, and not yellow.
