In the 40's and 50's lot of folks grew this one as a bragging tomato to take to the stock market as a conversation piece. The crown set will grow very large, up to two lbs. Size rapidly falls off until the last from the vine are relatively small ( 4-6 ounce) fruits. Taste and texture are ,at best, fair.
