GREEN ZEBRA #TG103<br />

75 days. One of my favorite tomatoes. Beautiful chartreuse<br />

with deep lime-green stripes, very attractive. Flesh is bright<br />

green and very rich tasting, sweet with a sharp bite to it<br />

(just too good to describe!). A favorite tomato of many high<br />

class chefs, specialty markets, and home gardeners. Yield<br />

is excellent. The most striking tomato in our catalog, a real<br />

beauty. Around 3 ounces. This is the tomato colored for the<br />

Green Bay Packers. Pkt $2.50 or 1/4 oz $12.00<br />

GREEN GRAPE #TG104<br />

70-80 days. Sister to “Green Zebra”, this tomato was also<br />

bred by Tom Wagner and has become the rage with<br />

specialty markets, home gardeners, and chefs. The flavor<br />

may be even better: rich, sweet, and zingy. The fruit are<br />

lime-green inside and have chartreuse-yellow skins. They<br />

are about the size of a large grape, perfect for salads<br />

and snacking. Makes most red cherries taste bland in<br />

comparison. Pkt $2.50<br />

GREEN SAUSAGE #TG105<br />

86 days. Determinate. The latest “Must Have”. It is simply<br />

outstanding! At last a banana-shaped paste tomato that is<br />

lime green and yellow striped when ripe! The flavor is rich<br />

and tangy. This will be a hot item for high-priced, groovy<br />

markets. So cool when mixed with orange, white, yellow,<br />

and red-striped paste types. Short, bushy plants produce<br />

4”-long fruit in abundance. Pkt $2.50<br />

GREEN BELL PEPPER #TG120<br />

75-80 days. Very well flavored, unusual stuffing-type<br />

tomato, having stunning stripes of light and dark green,<br />

maturing to yellow and green. Four-ounce, three- to<br />

four-lobed fruits are apple-shaped, and look like small<br />

blocky bell peppers. The seeds and pulp are contained in<br />

a mass near the stem, just like a pepper, and so are easily<br />

removed to prepare the fruits for stuffing. Pkt (15 seeds)<br />

$2.50<br />

GREEN PINEAPPLE #TG112<br />

Distinctive pineapple aroma makes my mouth water! This<br />

medium-sized, luscious-tasting variety has smooth, sweet,<br />

green flesh and olive/lime-colored skin. This heirloom was<br />

preserved by a family in Springfield, Ohio. Pkt $2.75<br />

MALAKHITOVAYA SHKATULKA #TG113<br />

70 days. The name, translated, means Malachite Box,<br />

named after the lovely green jewelry boxes named<br />

after the malachite mineral that comes from the Ural<br />

mountains and other areas. This early, light-to-olive green,<br />

medium-sized tomato has succulent, bright-green flesh<br />

that is very flavorful and tasty. Plants are productive even<br />

in the North, as this variety was developed at Svetlana<br />

Farm in Russia, and it has been tested in Siberia! Our<br />

grower likes to make a unique green ketchup from this<br />

variety. Pkt (15 seeds) $2.50<br />

SPEAR’S TENNESSEE GREEN #TG108<br />

A wonderful heirloom grown by the Spear family of<br />

Tennessee since the 1950’s and brought to us by a local<br />

customer who has been preserving it in his garden. The<br />

round fruit weigh 8-10 oz and have the taste of tomatoes<br />

from Grandma’s garden. They make your mouth water<br />

just thinking about them. This rare and historic variety<br />

deserves a place in every garden and certainly a place on<br />

our table in the future. Pkt $2.50<br />

where love is, than a stalled ox<br />

and hatred therewith.”<br />
