"A new tomato with many valuable features. Fruit averages quite large, often weighing a pound each. The deep red interior color, along with a very solid, extra red exterior, makes the tomato well suited for canning, market, or home use. The seed pockets are small and numerous, resulting in a very firm fruit. somewhat acid and good flavor."[1]
