Huge and productive beefsteak tomato with a mango/persimmon orange color, and a sweet rich flavor. Mary Reynolds lived in Natural Bridge, Virginia, where she saved this variety for so long that the original name is gone. She gave seeds to her neighbor John R. Lewis Jr., who in turn shared them with William Woys Weaver through Seed Savers Exchange in the late 1990s. Now we can all enjoy the juicy, delicious, 12-16oz fruits of her labor. For more information and beautiful descriptions of this variety and 99 others, see William Woys Weaver's "100 Vegetables and Where They Come From."
