Details
Standard early variety developed by George Sparks of Salem, New Jersey and introduced in 1900 by Johnson and Stokes. The 'Earliana' tomato was developed at the turn-of-the-century as growers attempted to bring the earliest tomato to market. Earliana produces short, indeterminate, regular-leaf plants that yield clusters of 4-6 beautiful, uniformly round, 6 oz., red-pink tomatoes. We consider this a perfect market tomato because of it's visual appeal and it's wonderful sweet/tart flavors. Earliana produces well until frost and appears to have good disease resistance. A good salad and canning tomato. A good, prolific tomato for cooler growing regions.
