The most delicious and beautiful white beefsteak most gardeners will ever taste.  Large, creamy ivory fruits (often with a faint pink blush at the blossom end when dead-ripe) average 8–16 oz and occasionally push past a pound. Shape is classically beefsteak—slightly ribbed, oblate, and gorgeous on a platter. Inside, the flesh is snowy white, silky-smooth, and remarkably juicy for a white variety, with a rich, sweet, tropical flavor that carries hints of pineapple and melon and almost no acidity. Many growers rank it as the single best-tasting white tomato available.
 
Vigorous indeterminate plants with regular-leaf foliage grow 6–8 ft, set heavy crops mid-season, and keep producing until frost. Good disease resistance and heat tolerance for a pale-fruited heirloom; fruits rarely crack and hold well on the vine or counter without turning mushy.
 
 
HISTORY: Commercially introduced in 1941 by the Earl May Seed Company of Shenandoah, Iowa, as a stunning pale beefsteak with unmatched sweetness and low acidity. The variety faded into obscurity after the company discontinued it, but a heroic donation in 1963 preserved it at the USDA's research station in Cheyenne, Wyoming (accession PI 645048 / NSL 27262).  Decades later, tomato expert Craig LeHoullier obtained a seed sample from the USDA's collection and shared it with renowned microbiologist and heirloom steward Dr. Carolyn Male. In 1995, Dr. Male triumphantly reintroduced 'White Queen' to modern gardeners through the Seed Savers Exchange Yearbook, sparking a revival that continues today. From near-extinction to cult favorite, it's a testament to dedicated preservation—and one of the finest white tomatoes ever bred.
