History
- A Kentucky family heirloom, first offered in Seed Savers 1985 Yearbook by James Halladay of Fairview, Pennsylvania. It had been grown in eastern Kentucky by three generations of James Halladay's family. Dates to the 1930s.
- Craig LeHoullier said about this tomato:
- "I received seeds from James Halladay, from Pennsylvania - former SSE member. The Mullens strain came to me from a West Virginia gardener named Charlotte Mullens in 1990. Flip a coin - both are very vigorous reg leaf plants producing very large sweet pink fruit. If I were to try to spot a difference, perhaps Halladay is a bit less oblate/larger fruit, hence Mullens a bit more oblate, shade smaller. Otherwise, both are fine varieties. "
