"About twenty years ago, L. S. McWhorter, a retail grocer of 

 Ithaca, who was attracted by a very fine specimen tomato shown by an

 planted the seed in his private garden. The parent was the French 

 pomme d'' amour, or ' Love Apple.' Some years after one plant ap-

 he has secured a superior strain. It is strictly a local variety. We 

 shall not dispose of seeds this season." — Bull. 21, Oct., i8go, Cornell
