Attractive, old-time favorite originally introduced in 1934. Plant produces good yields of heavy walled 7-ounce size bright red tomatoes that ripen evenly from inside out. Tomatoes have full-bodied flavor and average six ounces, are globular, slightly flattened with smooth, thick walls that are crack resistant. Rutgers is an all-purpose tomato. Good for slicing and cooking it’s also excellent for sauce and paste. Rutgers is also a good variety for canning or freezing.
