Abraham Lincoln Heirloom TomatoAbraham Lincoln, Shumway's "Original"
90 days, indeterminate
The variety 'Abraham Lincoln' was originally released by H. W. Buckbee Seed of Rockford, Illinois in 1923. It eventually became an R. H. Shumway variety. The original seeds for our line were purchased from Shumway in the late '90s when they were stating that the variety had been cleaned up as the result of a "major rebreeding project".

The 1932 Shumway Seed Catalog described the plants as, " . . . the largest Tomato ever grown.  We have had nine tomatoes in a single cluster with a total weight of seven pounds; the average weight is about a pound and we have grown many weighing nearly three pounds."  It continued in the description with such acclamations as, "phenomenal solidity of flesh" and " . . . a sturdy, healthy grower with distinctive bronzy-green foliage."

Our experience with this Shumway variety is that it is a very sturdy plant that produces nice yields of solid fleshed, dark red, good flavored medium-sized fruits that average about eight ounces.  We are continuing our search for the original 'Buckbee Abraham Lincoln' tomato.

Ace 55 TomatoAce 55 VF
85 days, indeterminate
Ace 55 is best for fresh use. The medium late, red, firm, oblate fruit are moderately smooth. The plants are medium to large and are tolerant to Verticillium and Fusarium.

According to a study in the late 1970s, this variety was specifically named as having a low acid content that could allow botulism to grow and therefore should not be canned using a hot water bath method. Check with your local extension office for up-to-date home canning information.

Large fruited (up to twenty ounces) for such an early maturing fruit.  They are oblate, red, mild slightly acidic flavored, firm skinned, and meaty.  Grown out from USDA ARS accession number NSL 193979.

J.T.D.
85 days, indeterminate
J. T. DorranceIn 1887, J. T. (John Thompson) Dorrance bred a unique line of condensed soups for the Campbell company.

Dorrance crafted condensed soup out of hardy stock ingredients, slashed the price of soup from thirty cents to a dime per can, and revolutionized the industry. By 1922, soup was such an integral part of the company’s presence in America, that Campbell’s formally added "Soup" onto its name.  The company used the red and white school colors of JTD Heirloom Tomato SeedCornell University to produce a distinctive, and now famous, label.

The tomato, named in honor of the man, was bred by the Campbell Soup Company for specific characteristics for growing in New Jersey and for its own factory use.2   Aside from its significance as a good red processing tomato, it has the historical significance of being used as a parent in the development of other important tomato varieties.

The plants are vigorous and productive.  Fruits are medium to large sized (six to sixteen ounces), red, globe to oblate shaped and tasty.

This is a very unique variety.  Although we have seen tomatoes with interesting yellow-green foliage, this is the first tomato variety that we have seen that is variegated.  The fruits are small (two to five ounces) and red.  Very productive.

Our original seed came from a seed saver in Sweden and was reportedly a popular U.K. hothouse variety. The fruits are two-celled, smooth skinned, very juicy and sweet, nearly globe-shaped bearing in clusters of eight to ten fruits weighing one to three ounces each.  Nice fruit, nice name :)

Several old seed companies sold tomato varieties with this name.  This is not the variety offered by Jung Seed.  We believe that this is the variety, also known as 'Hudson Valley' or 'Potato-leaved Earliana' and sold by S. M. Isbell & Company of Jackson, Michigan.  Smooth, tasty, small (two to eight ounce) red fruit.  Grown out from USDA ARS accession number PI 633493.
