‘Abraham Lincoln’ is an heirloom variety of tomato introduced in 1923 by the W. H. Buckbee seed company of Rockford, Illinois named in honor of Illinois’ Greatest Son.
It is one of the great tomato classics excellent for making tomato juice, ketchup and slicing.
I got this plant from a friend of mine that works at a USDA office that had an extra that they won in a raffle as part of the 150th anniversary of USDA activities.
