History: In 1990, an unnamed variety of seeds were sent to Craig LeHoullier by John D. Green of Sevierville, TN. A letter with the seeds described that Mr. Green got the variety from a woman who, in turn, received them from her neighbor that claimed that they had been in their family for 100 years originally receiving them from Cherokee Indians.
