ABE LINCOLN          slicer/canning
Indeterminate - The Abe Lincoln tomato was cultivated in the 1920s in Abraham Lincoln's home state of Illinois. The farmer named it because he wanted gardeners to know they were getting an honest producer with great flavor, one that was reliable to produce all season long. This is a classic variety with good acidity and regular tomato leaves, making it the perfect slicer tomato. Plants will produce normal amounts of fruit and tend to mature later than other varieties but will overcompensate in the quality of taste. These are amazing in tomato sauce, soup, pasta, or homemade ketchup.
