Origin: United States Item #: TOM045 Rutgers is an old open pollenated variety that excells as a canning tomato variety or as a slicer. It was originally developed by a Rutgers University scientist named Lyman G. Schermerhorn in co-operation with the Campbell's Soup Company in 1934. The Rutgers Tomato was developed by crossing Marglobe (see below) with a variety called JTD. As time went on, Rutgers became the most famous tomato worldwide and once made up over 70% of the tomatoes being processed in the United States. The Rutgers Tomato put the State of New Jersey on the map for tomato production which at one time was the leading state in tomato production (today that honor is held by California). Due to its close association with New Jersey, the Rutgers Tomato was also sometimes known as the Jersey Tomato. Produces intense, red colored, round tomato fruits are produced on a strong vine. Rutgers is a popular variety that will easily supply the most Tomato Hungry household with an abundance of tomatoes. After all these years, it is astill one of the best! Of particular note, when NASA sent tomato seeds into space, the Rutger's Tomato (supplied by Parks Seed Co.) was the variety they used in the Seeds In Space program. Determinate. Matures in 75 days.

Black Tomatoes have been our best selling vegetable seeds for us this year and this one is our best Black Tomatoes! This tomato variety is a medium large sized maroon beefsteak with green shoulders and an intense, unique taste! Ideal for slicing, salads and more. Due to their natural salty taste, sliced Black Krims do not require salting and only a hint of pepper, which makes them an ideal tomato variety for your tomato patch if you can not have salt in your diet.
