OG 75 days Indeterminate Medium-sized, gorgeous, oblong, orange-red fruits with wavy, yellow stripes. The excellent flavor, rich tomatoey sweetness and good texture make this ideal for creating sauces.

There is a heavy fruit production of meaty 4-5 oz. oblong fruits until frost. Some years, this has been the highest yielder of the tomatoes grown. (Planted May 5 last year, the first fruits appeared July 15). The grower who produced this seed in quantity for us, and who has grown all kinds of tomatoes for years, says this is "exceptional - definitely one to save and pass down".

The source of this tomato is John Swenson, a marvelous seedsman and the man we call Underwood Gardens "godfather". He has given us treasures of seeds and plants from his collection through the years. Speckled Roman was a fortuitous cross, in John's garden, of Antique Roman and Banana Legs, and the plants have the distinct nipple of the latter. He stablized the cross, and the rest is history - and gardening pleasure.
