Introduced by the Isbell Seed Company of Jackson, Michigan in 1933. They described it as follows:
"Here is a new and distinct variety that was developed by a veteran Tomato grower of New York State. The vines are strong and vigorous like Marglobe. The fruit are nearly round or slightly flattened, of large size, always smooth, ripen evenly and are a bright deep scarlet all the way through. They seldom crack and are extremely solid with few seeds. The flavor is most pleasing, being very rich but not sharply acid. It is resistant to both blight and rust."

Harvest Timing: Late Season
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.
