Red Wethersfield

Price range: $3.75 through $93.75

First offered commercially in 1834 by Hovey & Co. of Boston under the name Large Red,  the Red Wethersfield took on its new name due to it being grown extensively in Wethersfield, Connecticut for purchase at markets.  Great for salads and garnishes.
