Said to have prevented bankruptcy. In the 1930's, a guy nicknamed Radiator Charlie was in tough financial shape. He crossed heirloom tomatoes German Johnson, Beefsteak and several others, finally getting this terrific variety. He named it Mortgage Lifter because he made enough money selling the fruit and plants of these huge, 1 to 2 lb., meaty, sweet, pink skinned tomatoes to get out of hock and pay off his mortgage. Indeterminate. 75-85 days.
