Very good pale lemon yellow beefsteak-type tomato. Grew well, and produced as long as any other beefsteak in the garden, with the last tomato ripening just before frost. Produced a reasonable number or good-sized tomatoes. A beautiful addition to a plate of sliced tomatoes, flavour is mild and sweet but not bland.

Soil Texture: Loam
Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40')
Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day

Huge fruits, surpassing softball size. It makes up for yield in terms of fruit size. Very good flavor, excellent for slicing and preserves. Turns quite yellow when ripe. The flavor is subtle, it is a medium-low acidic flavor but still very good in terms of tasting like a tomato. Very juicy, perfect for sandwiches.

A pale yellow beefsteak, that has more flavor than the other "whites". Very mild flavored, but grows relatively well here and is edible.
