Lycopersicon esculentum
25 tomato seeds
First introduced by D.M. Ferry of Detroit, Michigan in 1879 (see picture for actual catalog).
Ferry says "Mr. Waring is the originator of this tomato".
Ferry writes:
"This new and valuable variety combined more points of excellence, this season with us than any other kind. It is extra early, it is larger than most early varieties, unsurpassed for canning, very smooth, beautiful color, produces large crops and does not rot on the vine in wet weather."
