Miss Lucille

In 2007 Kimberly Thompson of Winnsboro, Franklin Parish, Louisiana got a few seedlings of this variety as a present from her lifelong friend and coworker Monty Glynn Bradley (1958- ). Monty’s grandmother, Ida Belle Bradley (1912-1999) got this variety’s seed from her neighbor and relative Lucille (Flowers) Cassity (1911-1993), who had been growing it all her life in Winnsboro from seeds she had received from her mother Effie Louise Bradley (1885-1976). Effie Louise used to say this tomato variety had been in her family for generations. Ida Belle shared the seed with her son Glynn Louis Bradley (1938-2021), who gave seeds to his son Monty, who gave the seedlings to Kim. Kim donated this variety to SSE in 2021. SSE Accession # 133890
