We received 'Halladay's Mortgage Lifter' from Craig LeHoullier in 2017. He told us that it had been, "... grown since the 1930s by the Halladay family of Kentucky."[1] Craig received his seed from James Halladay of Fairview, Pennsylvania in 1987. He described how it was developed in the 1920s or 1930s originating in the Ashland, Kentucky/Huntington, West Virginia region.[2] Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.
