This makes sense since both were developed from the original Gulf State Market, which was \u201cfound by Walter Richards of Crystal Springs, Mississippi as a single plant in a field of Early Detroit tomatoes in 1917\u201d and then released by D. M. Ferry &#038; Company. The Livingston Seed Company produced an improved strain of their own, and this is that strain. Livingston\u2019s Strain is a pink medium salad variety nearly perfect in form and sweetly delicious in flavor. The flesh is what I can only describe as \u201ctoothsome,\u201d meaning it is not mealy or crunchy or squishy\u2026it is plump and juicy. Louisiana Gulf State has long been a favorite of mine in flavor and ability to produce in the southeast US but Livingston\u2019s Gulf State Market may end up edging alongside it in my list of most favorite varieties. Livingston\u2019s Gulf State Market appears to be a little more resistant to early blight than Louisiana Gulf State, and the fruits were a tad smaller. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18621,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[10,31,38,107,97,12],"product_tag":[113],"class_list":{"0":"post-18620","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-pink-tomatoes","7":"product_cat-beefsteak","8":"product_cat-round","9":"product_cat-ellies-wow-varieties","10":"product_cat-special-humidity-and-heat-tolerant-collection","11":"product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","12":"product_tag-new-for-2024","14":"first","15":"instock","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/18620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=18620"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=18620"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=18620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
