Imperial

Glenn 50 · August 18, 2006

Sowed some of my crosses and favourites and had some room for one more.
Went through a heap of packets and found an unopened packet of Imperial from Tomatofest.
I've just sown it but can find no info on the variety. Tomatofest no longer has it listed.
I have a feeling it may be an old prewar English commercial variety however I could be wrong (just guessing because of the name )
Can anyone help?

Regards
Glenn

Glenn, all I know about it without doing more research is that it's a red round fruit, RL, and is also known as Champ of NJ #4, so it looks US bred, not English.
