Description

(Solanum lycopersicum). Parchment-white tomatoes are extra smooth and beautiful. Renowned for their sweet, citrus taste that is richer and more complex than many white types. This variety is perfect for making a delicious white sauce or for eating fresh out of hand. In 1927 Isbell’s Seed Co., of Jackson, Michigan, said that this was the best white variety that they had ever grown. Some sources say it may have been introduced as early as 1850. This eight-ounce variety is a wonderful piece of American history that is just too great to be lost. Chefs and market gardeners, take notice!

Growing Tips: White Beauty is a creamy white heirloom tomato that grows best in full sun with fertile, well-draining soil and consistent watering. Use staking or caging to support the vines and heavy fruit.

Growing Guide

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed and the temperature doesn’t drop below 60 F. Check your region’s frost dates for accurate timing. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post "Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources."

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds about 1/8 inch deep in seed-starting mix indoors, keeping the soil at 70-80 F. Harden off seedlings before transplanting. Space plants 24 inches apart, with rows 3-4 feet apart. Provide sturdy cages or stakes for support.

How to Grow

Enrich the soil with compost or organic matter before planting. Water deeply and regularly to maintain even soil moisture. Fertilize every 2-3 weeks with a balanced or tomato-specific fertilizer. Prune suckers to improve airflow and direct energy toward fruit production.

How to Save Seeds

  • Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and don't frequently cross; in a garden setting, separating by 25 feet should prevent 99% of cross-pollination. Or you can bag and hand pollinate for 100% purity.
  • On a small scale, seeds may be scooped from the fruits and dried on a paper towel.
  • For larger quantities or cleaner seeds, fermentation for a few days is recommended.
  • Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.
