According to the Gregory family, this ancient variety was introduced from Boston to Marblehead around 1798. Apparently originating in the Caribbean or South America, it was introduced around 1845 by James Gregory of Marblehead, Massachusetts. It is mentioned in Vilmorin-Andrieux's "Les Plantes Potagères" of 1883.
