Abstract:

A new and distinct variety of paste-type tomato is derived in part from the "Roma" and in part from Italian banana tomatoes. The plant is characterized by thick stalks and stems, but slender, relatively-sparce light green foliage. The plant flowers early, and sets long, thin blossoms. Maturity is reached in approximately seventy-eight days. Very numerous, uniformly large, low acid fruit are produced in clusters of five or six fruits per cluster and more than thirty fruits per plant. The fruits are meaty and have few seeds. The fruits are extremely large, weighing one to three pounds, and measure twelve to seventeen centimeters in length and five to eight centimeters in diameter in an elongated plum shape.
