Anyone know about "Famous" 6th Avenue Tomato?
 by greenfringegarden on 3/24/2010 @ 8:06pm |
I was researching history of my property and the second owner told me that it used to be a farm then a tomato nursery, then a rhodie nursery. It was home to the "Famous 6th Avenue Tomato" still available in nurseries....never heard of it...does anyone remember this farm? |

H.J. Heinz Company, L.P. 357 6th Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15222 I was thinking 6th avenue referred to Tacoma, maybe it refers to the Heinz Company... |

However they do not know anything about the Famous 6th Ave Tomato....however I did find out from a local Tacomian, who grew up in the area of UP before it was a city...he said the farm was owned by a "Gunder Leland", and it stretched as far down from Mountain View...down to the water. Does anyone remember this? |
