Also have seen this being sold on ebay misspelled as "Fater Reine."

There are many "synonyms" associated with this variety in the marketplace. Most are simply misspellings. Some of these include, Ashhabadh's Heart, Heart of Ashkabad, and Serdtse Ashhabada.

Although there are companies selling a tomato by this name, there are several factual inconsistencies:

• After reviewing a collection of Porter & Son seed annuals representative of their existence, they never released a variety by this name.
• The seed sold by this name is pink in color - not "dark."
• The seed sold by this name is plum-shaped and not "cherry" shaped.

Bred by Dr. Henry M. Munger of Cornell University and released in 1976. Does well in cool climates.

This corn originated from Mr. H. J. Goddard of Fort Atkinson, Iowa. Professor Moore of the Wisconsin A. E. S. obtained a sample in 1904 and introduced it into Wisconsin. [1] It was released commercially by the L. L. Olds Seed Company in 1907. [2]

This variety actually predates the 1920s by several decades. As the story goes, a farmer named William Chambers of Greenfield, Massachusetts had grown this variety for years. After his death, a friend of Chambers found some of the sweet corn seeds and sold them to W. Atlee Burpee. In 1902, Golden Bantam was featured in a Burpee catalog.

Several sources for 'Mountain Pima', including this database, list this variety as Nicotiana rustica or wild tobacco. However, as you can see from the photographs showing the height, leaf structure and flower color and structure, this is not correct.

"Report, High Tunnel Fresh Market Slicer Tomato Variety Trial 2011," Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences, Summary of Comments states, "This variety had the lowest yield of the trial and the packout was poor as well. Colleagues report that this variety was better last season."

Characteristics: Uniform ripening, determinate, high color, large, smooth fruit, thick walls, soft core, pleasant flavor. Adaptation: same as Rutgers. Doubtful that this variety is still in circulation as it has since been commercially replaced by improved varieties such as 'Ace 55' and 'Cal-Ace' that added disease resistance.
