Millionaire
80 days. Among the rugged people of the Ozark mountains, rich flavor has made this variety famous for over 50 years and was used fresh and canned. They have a delectable sweet flavor and are beautiful coral-pink color. In the summer of 1950, Forrester Hutsell of Mountain Grove, MO, gave seed to Ed Henson of Champion, MO. He grew it locally for many years. In 1995, Carol Cleveland, of Norwood, MO sent Millionaire seeds to Neil Gillard of Ontario, Canada and he has been preserving it since. He sent us some seed two years ago for trials. After many years and many miles, we can at last offer the seed again in southern Missouri, just 20 miles from Mountain Grove! We have had requests for this variety from Ozarkians that can remember this variety from the 1950's.
