TOMATO - Thornburn's Lemon Blush

This was a variety that was believed to be extinct for 100+ years, but a single seed saver was found to be in possession of the variety. The variety was developed by Elbert Carman, a longtime editor of the Rural New Yorker Magazine, and first offered in the Thorburn’s catalog in 1893. It remained a favorite offering until 1912 when it was reselected and renamed Lemon Queen tomato. The variety fell into obscurity until the seed saver received the seeds from a rare collection in New Jersey and decided to grow it out.
