Description

“This is our Red Italian with refinement—selected for straight uncrumpled sides, smooth skin, thicker walls, and a rich red color. By far the quickest for uniform roasting and easy skin removal, and the thicker flesh holds up well to fire. Fruits are 6-7″” long, 2¼”” broad at the crown, sweet, heavy fruiting, and long keeping. Fewest seeds of all these types. Mature 102 days post-trans. at OSU/Corvallis, OR. Farm Original Variety!”
