The Red Brandywine tomato plant is a Pennsylvania Amish heirloom dating to 1885, with large potato-leaved foliage. It bears large scarlet beefsteak-shaped fruit, popularly considered among the best tasting available. Even when fully ripe, the tomato can have green shoulders near the stem. Brandywine tomatoes can bear fruit up to 1.5 lbs (0.7 kg), requiring 80 to 100 days to reach maturity, making it among the slowest maturing varieties of common tomato cultivars. Brandywine has been described as having a "great tomatoey flavor", (others have called it a beautifully sweet tomato that is offset by a wonderful acidity), leading to heavy usage despite the original cultivar's relatively low yield per plant.

German Johnson (also known as German Johnson Pink) is an heirloom that came with immigrants to Virginia and North Carolina. It is one of the four ‘grandparents’ of the Mortgage Lifter tomato.

They have pink skin with yellow shoulders, mild taste, low acidity, and are a very meaty fruit with few seeds. They have heavy yields. They are good sliced or for canning. They have fair disease resistance and a regular tomato leaf. 76-80 days.

After crossing varieties for 6 years and selecting the best, he introduced this beauty that he named Mortgage Lifter in the 1940's after he sold plants for $1 each and paid off the $6,000 mortgage on his house.
