Mortgage Lifter Tomato seeds
Well-shaped, large fruit is very meaty with few seeds and is similar to the 'Giant Belgium', but not quite as large.
This large, meaty, mild-flavored tomato has few seeds and is the perfect tomato-sandwich tomato.
The 'Mortgage Lifter' tomato was developed in the early 1930's in Logan, West Virginia by a radiator repairman, M.C.
"Radiator Charlie" Byles.
Without any experience in breeding, he made a successful cross of four of the largest tomatoes he could find - German Johnson, Beefsteak, an Italian variety, and an English variety.
Radiator Charlie sold the first seedlings of his new tomato in the 1940's for one dollar each to customers who drove up to 200 miles for his famous plants that bore tasty tomatoes averaging two and a half pounds.
With these sales, Charlie managed to pay off his $6,000 mortgage in only six years, and so the tomato was named 'Mortgage Lifter'..
