Why is the Jersey (Rutgers) tomato credited to the wrong person?
My great grandfather created the Rutger’s tomato at the farm he owned in co-operation with Rutger’s University, yet sources ( http://www.vegetableseed.net/heirloom-vegetable-seeds/heirloom-tomato-seeds/heirloom-red-tomato-seeds/rutgers.html ) says Lyman G. Schermerhorn created it!
You are confusing two different varieties of tomatoes. The “Jersey” Tomato is a different tomato from the “Rutgers” tomato. Although both were developed at or in co-operation with Rutgers University. The “Jersey” Tomato was developer earlier than the “Rutgers” Tomato.
The ‘Rutgers’ Tomato was introduced in 1934 by Rutgers breeder Lyman Schermerhorn as an ideal canning tomato at the height of the canning industry in New Jersey. Not only did this provide a top performing tomato for New Jersey’s canning industries Campbell’s, Heinz and Ritter, but continued to be the preferred choice of 75 percent of commercial growers for the remainder of the twentieth century.
