SSE member Jim Tjepkema of Minnesota introduced this variety in the Exchange in 1990 after acquiring seeds from Lawrence Overland (1904-1992) of Twin Lakes, MN. Although it is unclear where Lawrence acquired this tomato, Jim stated Lawrence had grown it for many years and shared it with many people in Freeborn County. Jim stated it was great as a fresh tomato it would probably be good for sauce. SSE Accession # 123264
