History
- Offered by Gleckler Seedmen in the 1950s.
- Click here to view a page from 1958 Gleckler Seed Catalog at Craig LeHoullier's website that offers this variety. The description from the catalog says:
- "(68 days) Fuzzy, grayish white leaves and stems. Medium indeterminate vine growth. A most beautiful plant as the brilliant red tomatoes appear through the foliage. Medium size velvety-smooth fruits are extremely solid and rarely crack. A most delicious, very mild flavor. A very beautiful garden setting may be had by alternate planting of our Golden Glow tomato and flowers. A few plants will not come true in Angora; these can be detected in the seedling stage by the absence of fuzz on the leaves, which can be pulled and discarded."
