Konigin der Fruhen
I have in my garden few tomato plants named Konigin der Fruhen. Unfortunately, two weeks ago an ice storm knocked down their fruits and some flowers, so I must wait for the next fruits. Does anybody know some about this tomato variety?

[Red] 3" flat fruit produces well in cold weather. Very old, rare, non-commercial variety from Germany. Name means "Queen of Earlies". 65-75 days to maturity. (but another member said 90 days!) http://ventmarin.free.fr/passion_tom.../tomates_k.htm Königin der Frühen OP ou Koenigin de Fruehen OP ou King of Earlies OP ou Reine des Précoces OP Fruit rouge rond de 80 à 120 grammes. En bouquet de 4 à 8 fruits. Dépression moyenne à l'attache pédonculaire. Ombilic marqué par un point minuscule. Grosse tendance à l'éclatement. Variété bien adaptée au climat frais. 65 à 75 jours. Croissance indéterminée. Variété originaire d'Allemagne. Variété très ancienne, connue avant 1890. Variété citée en 1930 dans le catalogue Mauthner de Budapest en Hongrie [google translation:] [Round red fruit 80 to 120 grams. In April-August bouquet fruit. Average depression at peduncle. Umbilicus marked by a tiny dot. Big tendency to burst. Well suited to the cool climate variety. 65 to 75 days. Indeterminate growth. Variety from Germany. Very old variety, known before 1890. Variety quoted in the 1930 catalog Mauthner Budapest Hungary] I found a few more sources by googling (with quotes as shown) "konigen der fruhen" tomato |

I think it means "Early Queen" or "Queen of the Earlies". It's a new one to me.

Thank you all.
I wonder what 'non-commercial variety' means
