Tomato Seeds

Teton De Venus

	Italian Beefsteak NEW Bright red, medium size beefsteaks have great acidity and give this variety a good tomato taste. Plants produced well here in Tennessee and gave us a very nice crop. Seed comes from Bari, Italy. Indet. 85 days....#R73.......................................................$2.95
	Dolly Parton NEW Good Golly, Miss Dolly! I received a few seeds of this variety to try last spring and tried it because of the cute name. Dolly is a really wonderful, juicy, red globe with very fine flavor. And perhaps, as the name implies, they seem to be picture perfect fruits with no blemishes or splitting. More "assets" include excellent production at the end of our summer here, when weather conditions are not good. Be warned, though, they are not a "large" tomato, but a very nice 8- 10 ounces. A great main cropper or market variety to "boot"! This is a variety very much worth growing. Indet. 70 days....#R72........................................................$2.95
	Tappy's Finest NEW For those of you who love a great big, meaty beefsteak. This old heirloom will make you happy. Though size and shape will vary a bit, most will be quite large, up to two pounds. Indet. 85 days....#R71........................................................$2.95
	Pomadora Rose NEW I am very excited to offer this gem of a tomato this year! Pomadora was one of the best surprises of summer 2010. Brilliant red globes at 8- 14 ounces are juicy and full of fantastic tomato flavor. Each time I went out to view the gardens, more and more of these roses seem to come from nowhere. Excellent variety for home and also for market, as the pretty red skins are without blemishes of any kind and they have great shelf life. One very fine vine! Indet. 75 days....#R70.........................................................$2.95
	Lil's Favorite Ordered this variety for my mom, "Sweet Lil" and was very happy with it! 8-14 oz. bright red fruits are a bit irregular with slight fluting. Last year I was amazed with Lil's very intense rich flavor. It was actually the best bite out of a tomato I had all season, even though it was near fall when I tasted it. This year I couldn't do another taste comparison due to the unbelievable amount of rain we received here in Tennessee. This variety comes from Larry Watson, in Beaver Falls Pa., who's Aunt Lil raised it for many years in Belleville Illinois. I don't have a lot of seed, so packets will be 10 seeds and supply is limited. Indet. 85 days....#R69........................................................$2.95
	Phil's Fantastic Bill Minkey, who has grown thousand of varieties of heirloom tomatoes, calls "Phil" a favorite of his. And Bill doesn't lie! I have gotten many of the varieties of seed offered in this catalog from the enthusiastic and very hard working Bill over the years. Substantial red beauties at 1 to 1 1/2 pounds are mostly globe shaped, but some tend to want to be hearts. They have a great balance of sweetness and acidity, that which makes a tomato "Fantastic" ! Indet. 85 days....#R68.......................................................$2.95
	Risentomate Also known as the "pocketbook tomato" This oddity is actually a literal bunch of small cherries fused together to make one lumpy and bumpy red tomato. This variety possibly comes from the Indians of Central America who referred to it as the traveler tomato because it could be eaten by bits a time without getting rotten. Very much fun to grow and will fascinate adults and children alike. Indet. 70 days....#R67........................................................$2.95
	Super Choice What a great name for a great tomato! You will be happy you planted this variety when you go out to your summer garden and see these perfect red beefsteaks hanging from their tall sprawling vines.

Heirloom comes from a Reverend Hobart Pearson of Berea Kentucky. Make Super Choice your choice! Indet. 85 days....#R66........................................................$2.95
	Strawberry Margarita Great big beautiful crimson beefsteaks at 12 - 20 oz. will fill up your harvest basket quickly. Some of the larger fruits will be boat shaped and have heavy fluting.

Indet. 85 days ....#R63.......................................................$2.95
	Dr. Wyche's Red I was thrilled with this new find. What a winner! For those of you who never eat a summer salad without tomato, it's an excellent variety. The 4-6 oz. round fruits are very sweet and have nice intense tomato flavor. Because of it's size this is also a great variety for drying. Production is heavy and non stop. This variety, like Dr. Wyche's Yellow, comes from the late Dr. Wyche, who was once the owner of Cole Brother's Circus. He used to fertilize his gardens with elephant manure. Indet. 80 days ....#R62......................................................$2.95
	Cherokee Red Egg to pear shaped, these 4-6 oz. fruits are great. Nice, juicy, and the perfect size for snacking in the garden. Very productive with more ripe fruits seemingly popping up over night.

	Sub-Arctic Plenty World's earliest tomato! The United States military developed this variety to supply tomatoes for troops stationed in Greenland. Numerous fruits are smallish, about 3-5 ounces, are a deep scarlet all throughout, and really do have quite nice flavor for an early tomato. There is a terrific bonus with Sub- Arctic - a lot of early varieties fade as the summer progresses, but I picked these until October here in Tennessee. Det. 50 days....#R5..............................................................$2.95
	Super Sioux Improved version of the fantastic Sioux. A cross between All Red and Stokesdale. This is an outstanding variety for the south, bred for long, hot, and dry summers.
