Historie

Burpee_1884_Cardinal.jpg

www.victoryseeds.com link skriver:
"86 days, indeterminate — 'Cardinal' has interesting, attractive plants that produce good amounts of small to medium sized (two to ten ounce), beautiful red colored, flattened globe shaped fruits. They have a good flavor and are slightly tart.

Discovered in a field of Livingston's 'Acme' tomatoes.[1,2,3] It was released in 1884 by the W. Atlee Burpee Seed Company. Here is what they had to say:
"This new Tomato, now offered for the first time, was discovered four years since, in a field of Acmes, from which it was readily distinguished, not only by the fruit, but also by the foliage, which is entirely distinct. It has been carefully cultivated, and maintains a remarkable perfection in all that can be desired in a Tomato."
It must have been very popular as it was listed by other seed companies within a couple of years.

When doing variety preservation work, especially working to document pre-twentieth century varieties, it is rare to find such an abundance of documentation to compare modern seed samples against. In this case, 'Cardinal' was introduced just about the time that chromolithographic printing became available. Burpee's 1894 seed catalog contained three prints using this technology, and 'Cardinal' was one of them!

Our original seed was from USDA, ARS accession number PI 270175 sent to us by David Pendergrass. There was an "All-America Selection®" winner in 1938 by this same name but we do not believe that it is the same variety. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.

THE CARDINAL. brilliant cardinal red when ripe, appearing as if varnished, flesh of almost as bright a color. In shape almost round, solid, and with very few seeds. (See cut.) - Peter Henderson & Co's Manual for Everything for the Garden, 1889


Johnson and Stokes Garden and Farm Manual, 1889 side 64:
THE CARDINAL. This new tomato, first offered three years since, was discovered in a field of Acme, from which it is quite distinct in both fruit and foliage. It is of vigorous growth, and bears abundantly throughout the season. The fruit is uniformly smooth and free from ridges, and is of a brilliant cardinal red. The flesh is of the same brilliant color, having no green core and very few seeds. Its evenness of ripening-so many tomatoes in the same stage at the same time-is a marked feature in this variety, as is also the uniformity of the same large size throughout the entire season, It keeps well and is a fine shipper.
