Most Popular Varieties of the 1960's?

TomatoDon · April 22, 2018

Everyone wants a tomato that tasted like the ones "grand-pa" or "dad" or the uncle or neighbor grew back in the day. Since the specific variety is the most important factor for those flavors, I'm trying to make a list of the popular varieties on the 1960's. I'm aware of the lists on the internet, but I wanted to see what the Tomatoville enthusiasts remember as their childhood favorites. Oh...and who developed the Better Boy and Bigger Boy and when were they introduced.

I've asked this here a couple of times before and the ones who say they know and will answer later never do, so I thought I'd try it again.

Thanks to those who remember the taste of the 60's, the varieties, and those who reply!
