I read awhile back that a tomato was being reintroduced into the US from
Europe. Apparently it was once in the US but seemed to go out of favor with
gardeners. This year 600,000 seeds were to be imported. Does anyone know
the name of this tomato?

Marglobe is good Jersey Tomatoe.

Bill in the garden state. Hard to tell as I bike about and see farms
as developments or empty fields. Still got Olsen less then a mile away
but he's getting up there. One man one tractor with help at harvest.
Younger folks across the way are sixties at old man Olsen¹s. Same guy
that gave Frank and I a nickle to unload a tractor trailer of peaches in
1960. Learned a valuable lesson.
Very little truck framing or farm stands or a place for pulled plants.
Have to go 20 miles for plants or 2 mile and pay twice at a local garden
center. (

My Dad was an Agronomist at Rutgers when this was introduced. I sure
wish I could get ahold of some of those seeds. It was a great
'mater!!! Bernie Polluck lived right up the street from us.

Nan,

Try this search,

It should lead you to some places that have the seeds.

I wish I had some old line Rutger Tomato seed. Those had more acid and
better taste. The plants I get now labeled Rutger have been cross
polinated until the taste is not much different from all the other
mushey tomatoes.
