Here’s some history of this Jewel of a tomato by Truelove seeds:

Nice, small tomato with uniform redness and roundness. These round, red "jewels" ripen slightly on the early side, and produce well in clusters of three to five. James Chalk of Norristown, Pennsylvania developed this variety in 1899. According to William Woys Weaver from whom we got our original seed, Chalk crossed Hubbard's Curled Leaf and Perfection to create this variety. It was released by Moore & Simon of Philadelphia in 1900, and W. Atlee Burpee in 1904. It is now listed in the Slow Food Ark of Taste as an endangered and culturally important heirloom.
