History
- Developed by A.W. Livingston and introduced commercially in 1880.
- Click here to view a page from 1900 Livingston's Seed Catalog as Craig LeHoullier's website. The description from the catalog says:
- "An improved Acme with a red skin, somewhat larger, fully as early, has more solid flesh and fewer seeds, and produces more and larger fruit at the close of the season. Invariably smooth and of handsome blood-red color. Some canners prefer it to all others, especially those who can the tomatoes whole, and a red variety that usually ripens ten days ahead of Stone."
