Tomatoes

Gardeners rate this variety as excellent, especially for its superior, very pleasant taste. Heavy yields of 8 oz. firm, meaty fruit that is generally free of cracks. Vines offer good foliage cover. Not recommended for canning as Jet Star is low in acid. Indeterminate. 72 days.

Oxheart tomatoes have been popular for generations because of their excellently flavored, meaty, large tomatoes that provide lots of solid good eating with very few seeds. The fruit of Hungarian Heart follows suit, with large, pink heart-shaped tomatoes that become 1 lb. and are just luscious. As a bonus, these plants are not shy bearers, but rather quite productive for an oxheart type. Hungarian heirloom. Indeterminate. 85 days.

Extra large, 10 oz. smooth round tomatoes ripen to a uniform red and are produced as an incredible set of solid, flavorful fruit. Strong, healthy vines have heat-set capabilities and resistance to diseases including alternaria and gray leaf spot. A favorite with chefs and gardeners alike for its versatility and great tomato flavor. Determinate. 72 days.

10, 250, and 500 seed quantities are untreated.  1000 seed quantities are available as treated.

This very early variety bears loads of 2 to 4 oz. red fruit with terrific flavor normally found only in a huge beefsteak. The fact that its fruit is ripe up to a full month earlier than many beefsteak varieties makes Matina really special. Potato-leaved plants put on large clusters of abundant tomatoes, and even though they start early, continue to bear throughout a long season. Heirloom from Germany. Indeterminate. 58 days.

Gorgeous port wine-colored beefsteak has beautiful green stripes and deep brick-red interior flesh. The fruit is 8 to 12 ozs. with an exceptional flavor that is well balanced and rich. Fairly compact plants are vigorous, early to bear, and well adapted to almost all climates. We think this variety is likely to become a classic specialty tomato with both gardeners and chefs alike. Bred by Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms. Indeterminate. 65-70 days.

This yellow version of Tumbling Tom is superior for hanging baskets, containers and small space gardens. The graceful cascading vines reach up to 18 inches, and produce an abundance of 1 to 2 ounce yellow tomatoes, that are sweet and delicious. Plant are only 8 inches in width, so you can put them fairly close together. Resistant to fusarium, verticillium and nematodes. Determinate. 70 days.

This wonderful variety came from a former U.N. worker in Kosovo, who passed it down to Carolyn Male. Huge, deep pink heart-shaped fruit has a sweet rich flavor and is very meaty while still being juicy. Production is excellent and the tomatoes are simply beautiful, but it is the delectable and intense tomato flavor that really makes this one special. Tomatoes can grow up to 1 pound, with ranges from 10 to 18 ozs. Indeterminate. 75-80 days.

Released by the North Carolina tomato breeder Dr. Randy Gardner, this innovative new variety has great tasting tomatoes and important resistance to both early and late blight. Mountain Magic, a cross between a large-fruited tomato and a very sweet grape tomato, is similar to the cultivar "Campari" found in specialty markets. Abundant long clusters of 2 oz., round to deep round red tomatoes are crack resistant, so they hold up very well after harvest. Their wonderful flavor combines bold acid perfectly balanced with a generous amount of sugar, adding up to a real taste treat. Compact indeterminate. 72 days.

Introduced by Dr. James Baggett at Oregon State University, this very early variety sets large fruit that are glossy red and round with a very good flavor that is a nice blend of sugars and acids. What is also exciting about Legend is its strong resistance against the late blight fungus, a problem that has thwarted many a tomato gardener. It sets fruit well under cool temperatures, and contains few seeds. We think this combination of great taste, earliness, and strong disease resistance makes Legend truly memorable. Determinate. 68 days.

This is the most popular tomato in Japan, where gardeners prefer their tomatoes pink and sweetly flavored. Hybrid plants produce abundant crops of round, medium-sized, perfectly smooth tomatoes with no blemishes or imperfections. Their taste is wonderful, intensely rich and sweet, with just the right amount of acid. We think that this variety will also catch on with American gardeners once they find out how delicious it is. Indeterminate. 74 days.

Appropriately named, this variety does bear giant fruit on a really huge plant. Dark pink, solid tomatoes are ribbed, have few seeds, and are very sweet yet have an acid component, making for really good flavor. Most fruit is in the 1 to 2 lb. range, but it is not unusual for tomatoes to become a mammoth 3 lbs. Heirloom variety grown since the late 1800's. Indeterminate. 85 days.

Paste tomatoes shaped like banana peppers are about 6 inches long, deep orange-red and sweet with very little juice and few seeds. These tomatoes are all meat and make great paste and sauce. Heirloom variety. Indeterminate. 73 days.
