TOMATOES

Anna Russian

Pink, heart shaped with sweet, juicy flavor. High yield for this type, wispy foliage

Be My Baby Gene Pool Cherry (none available)

A work in progress, described by Fedco as a three way cross of an heirloom beefsteak, a red cherry and an orange cherry. Potato leaf seedlings should be removed if any show up.

Black Cherry

Beautiful, look like large black cherries and have that rich flavor that makes black tomatoes famous. Market growers report that this variety is an incredible seller, large vines yield very well. Very unique and delicious..

Bloody Butcher

Early heavy sets of 4 oz. fruit borne in clusters. These are smooth, dark red with full tomato flavor not always found in early tomatoes

Boxcar Willie

Very heavy crop of good sized 6 to 10 oz. smooth, red, orange tinged tomatoes with delicious flavor.

Dr. Carolyn

Ivory to pale yellow cherry tomato. A variation of Galina and named for Dr. Carolyn Male, it is a heavy producer of sweet fruit with a balanced acidity.

Earl of Edgecombe

Deep orange uniform globe shaped fruit with a complex taste.

German Red Strawberry

Heart shaped and meaty with rich flavor and aroma. Foliage is wispy

Green Grape

Green when ripe cherry tomato with spicy sweet flavor.

Green Zebra

Chartreuse with deep lime-green stripes, very attractive. Flesh is bright green and very rich tasting, sweet with a sharp bite to it, (just too good to describe!). Yield is excellent, 3 oz

Kellogg's Breakfast

Orange, rich flavored beefsteak. Many claim this tomato to be one of the best flavored tomatoes available.

Moskvich

Early, tolerant of cool weather and with a rich flavor. Golden Harvest Organics has dubbed it “Death by Tomato  in the “Death by Chocolate” tradition.

Neves Azorean

Heirloom beefsteak from the Azores with rich full flavor. Late in the north

Noir de Crimee

“Black” tomato, purple brown, medium size with earthy sweet taste. A superior strain of Black Krim.

Orange Oxheart

Meaty with few seeds. Ripens to a deep golden orange. Aromatic with excellent full flavor.

Paul Robeson

Russian tomato named after the operatic artist who won acclaim as an advocate of equal rights. This black beefsteak tomato is slightly flattened, round, and grows to 4 inches. Its deep, rich colors–a dusky, dark-red, with dark-green shoulders and red flesh in its center–distinguish it from others. Very flavorful fruits with luscious, earthy flavors and good acid/sweet balance.

Pruden's Purple

Large pink purple fruit with rich flavor. Potato leaf.

Red Brandywine

Not to be confused with other Brandywine tomatoes, this is a regular leaf plant producing very flavorful fruit. An Amish heirloom, it dates back to 1885.

Rose

A large fruited variety that ripens to a deep rose red. Flavor is compared to Brandywine..

Summersweet

Hybrid cherry tomato with good yields, early to fruit. Disease resistant

Sun Gold

One of the best varieties of cherry tomatoes. Sungold ripens to a golden orange, with a very sweet flavor. This tomato is popular in all climates as it produces in warm and cold conditions. Fruit matures quickly, and crops heavily throughout the warmer months.

Super Sioux

An improved strain of Sioux which was developed in the 40s. Excellent flavor and keeps producing in hot weather.
