Variety resulting from the crossing of "Marianna's Peace" and an unknown "black" variety, selected and stabilized by Millard Murdock, North Carolina, USA.
Fruit of 200 to 300 grams of beefsteak type, flattened, ribbed at the top and with plump or even curved shoulders for the larger ones, making them misshapen.
The dress is a shades of dark red to dark purple with dark green shoulders.
Juicy, fleshy and dense beef, many small cells.
Rich and smoky flavor typical of "blacks".
Plant with great development, potato foliage, indeterminate growth.
Good production quite early in the season for fruits of this type. Great disparity in size, the largest being harvested rather in the second half of the season.
