Overview
Lantern is a semi-elongated, pointed bell from Johnny's that ripens from dark green to a glowing orange-red. The fruit are heavy, smooth, mostly 4-lobed, about 5 by 4 1/2 inches, and very uniform, with walls thick enough for stuffing but not overly so. Plants are strong with good leaf cover and so productive that trellising is worthwhile, especially under cover. It resists tobacco mosaic virus races 0, 1 and 2 and tolerates stip. Frank Morton of Wild Garden Seed also released an OSSI-pledged open-pollinated Lantern, so check which you are buying.
