Acme, De Giorgi Tomato

70 days, indeterminate — In our search for old Livingston tomato varieties, we often grow out tomatoes from the same era with similar names.

We know very little about the history of the De Giorgi Brother's Seed Company of Council Bluffs, Iowa other than they were in business in the early 1900s and a contemporary of the A. W. Livingston Seed Company. Their 'Acme' tomato is not similar to Livingston's but it is beautiful and tasty.

Large fruited (up to twenty ounces) for such an early maturing fruit. They are oblate, red, mild slightly acidic flavored, firm skinned, and meaty. Grown out from USDA ARS accession number NSL 193979. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.
