History

• A variety saved and selected for size and flavor by Mr. Burcham. A friend of Mr. Burcham's granddaughter, Jan Gibson of Chapel-Hill, North Carolina, sent seed to a SSE member, Norma Vinyard of Sedalia, Missouri (MO VI N) in the late 1980s.
• The only commercial seed source for this tomato is Heirloom Seeds (former 'Chuck Wyatt's Heirloom Seeds'), unfortunately they now sell off-type potato leaf seed.
