| This variety did incredibly well in Tucson Arizona. I was really impressed with how the foliage kept the tomatoes from getting burned. Most all tomatoes were of a consistent size for eating. The plant was very resistant to viruses and concerns. Again, cracking was not an issue on this variety due to good foliage growth that shaded tomatoes. |

| I've raised this variety for 3 years. The flavor is good, the texture firmer than Celebrity. Flavor holds well into Fall weather. It is quite crack resistant, which is valuable in mid- to late-September. Deecent resistance to early blight means that they still produce in late-September. The main drawback is excessive height. I like a 4-5 foot plant, and these tend to go closer to 7 feet. |

| I've grown First Lady II for 2 years now. It did well in spite of the cold wet summer last year, and produced an abundant crop of medium sized, good tasting tomatoes. They showed the most resistance to early blight of any tomato in my garden. |
