Tomato: Abe Lincoln Improved Hybrid

(VFNASt) Dates back to when R.H. Shumway Seedsman first introduced the variety known as Buckbee's Abraham Lincoln - a mild-tasting, heavy-yielder that became the standard of excellence by which tomatoes were judged for decades to come. This crossbred hybrid of the original strain displays the fine flavor and vigorous growth habit of the indeterminate heirloom male parent combined with the female parent's earlier maturity and disease resistance. Fruits are bright red, globe-shaped, averaging 8 oz., but often weighing more. One of America's highest yielding tomatoes. (from Totally Tomatoes)

Tomato: Abraham Lincoln

The original 'Abraham Lincoln' was a late-maturing variety introduced about 1923. This early season introduction (circa 1975) ripens 10 to 12 days earlier, has smaller fruit, and does not have the bronze-green foliage characteristic of the original. Flavor is slightly acidic but distinctive. Plants have excellent resistance to foliage disease. The red, medium-sized fruits are uniform and free of defects. Highly recommended where foliage disease is a problem. Resistant to early blight and alternaria stem canker.

Tomato: Abu Rawan

Another variety contributed to the tomato world by expatriate Iraqi seed collector Nael Aziz. He stated that it is a bit unusual for an Iraqi type, because in Iraq the people tend to favor tart tomatoes, while this one is sweeter. Having solid, all-purpose flesh, it will take the heat, like Iraqi types generally. Named for the onetime caretaker of the greenhouses at the Agricultural College at Al Ghraib. Maintained in cultivation in private gardens there since the 1970's.

Keep the big harvest going with successive, monthly plantings through July for a fall harvest. Plants are strong and upright, but will still do best in a small cage or on a stake for support. Space 24 to 36 inches apart.
