A great tomato classic with extraordinary flavor. Beautiful 12 oz. brilliant red fruits grow in large clusters. Tolerates rainy weather without splitting. It's a stand out in any garden because of the big dark red tomatoes and bronzy-green leaves. This tomato makes great garden fresh bruschetta.
History: Introduced in 1923 by W.H. Buckbee seed company of Rockford, IL, which named the tomato in honor of the state's favorite son. Over the years it has proved itself to be one of the great tomato classics that happily survived the big shift to hybrids during the 1940's. After the demise of the Buckbee firm, the Abe Lincoln tomato was continued by R. H. Shumway of Randolph, WI.
