History
- Family heirloom. Nelson R. Moore of Indianapolis, Indiana (IN MO N) bought tomato plants in 1990 from a 93 year-old gardener, who said this was in his family since his great grandfather. Unfortunately the name of the gardener is not known, as by the time Mr. Moore came back to get more seeds, the old man passed away (1991).
