Bred by the Gill Brothers Seed Company of Portland, Oregon and released in 1947. They described them as follows:
"This grand new tomato is just like its name implies and is fine for all the main purposes. Ideal for canning or juice; also splendid for home gardens and market gardens. It produces a heavy set of large, uniform fruit on self-terminate vines. The fruit are bright red, possessing the solid, deep red interior of the Pepper Tomato and with its fine flavor. Vines vigorous and healthy and unusually resistant to disease. They pack good and stand shipment better than most sorts."
'Gill's All Purpose' is stabilized cross between their 'Wasatch Beauty' and 'Pepper' tomato varieties.

Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.
