Keyworth’s Midseason was produced alongside Keyworth’s Early in the 1940’s for the same desired wilt resistance. A cross between Fuggle and a wild American female, Keyworth’s Midseason proved more popular than Keyworth’s Early and reached a cultivation close to 600 acres in 1954. It is the parent of Density and Defender.
