History

  • An old commercial heirloom processing variety.
  • SSE Accession: TOMATO/RED 1104.
  • 1915 Isbell and Co. Seed Catalog description:
"This is one of the finest large, red tomatoes ever introduced. It ranks among the later varieties, requiring about 110 days from seed-sowing to ripe fruit. It is very solid and smooth and of very fine red color. Superior in texture and flavor. It is a heavy producer and an excellent shipper. It is specially recommended to truckers and growers for canning factories. It has a very strong, vigorous vine, protecting the fruits from sunscald."
