Purple Tomatoes<br />
AMAZON CHOCOLATE #TP149 New!<br />
75-80 days. Slicing-type fruits to 1 lb+. Recently introduced,<br />
this large-fruited “purple” tomato seems likely to become a<br />
classic. Extremely productive over a long season, the flavor has<br />
been described as sweet, rich, complex, and having wine-like<br />
overtones. The vigorous plants tolerate heat and drought and<br />
keep on yielding the chocolate-brown, soft and delicate juicy<br />
fruits. Said to originally be from Ukraine, from the Black Sea<br />
region which has given us so many superior heirloom varieties.<br />

A fairly early, black variety from France that is of medium to<br />
large size. Fruit are round to irregular in shape and of a deep<br />

with shorter seasons. Pkt $2.50<br />
BLACK ELEPHANT #TP131<br />
Big, purplish-brown fruit have a rich, sweet, savory taste and are<br />
great for fresh eating. This Russian variety is rather uncharming<br />
in looks, in fact most of the fruit tend to be misshapen, cracked<br />
and otherwise disagreeable in appearance. Thankfully their<br />
deliciousness more than makes up for their looks. Pkt $2.00<br />
BLACK ICICLE #TP132<br />
Stunning, perfectly shaped, deep purplish-brown fruit that are<br />
almost black. A great variety for both home gardeners and chefs.<br />
This tomato has the incredible rich taste that is in many of the<br />
large, dark beefsteak types, sweet, rich with earthy overtones.<br />
This variety has so much potential for introduction commercially<br />
and was among our best tasting varieties last season. Another<br />
variety we are introducing from the Ukraine along with its other<br />
jewel-toned icicle sisters. Pkt (15 seeds) $3.00<br />
BLACK MAMMOTH #TP133<br />
This variety ripens mid-season and produces big, fleshy fruits<br />
that can crack and are sometimes rough looking but inside are<br />
filled with sweet, purplish-red flesh that has a great taste and<br />
is good for a variety of uses. These can grow up to a pound<br />
in weight. We received this variety from Popenko Valerii of<br />
Kazakhstan. Pkt $2.50<br />
BLACK MAURI (BLACK MOOR) #TP134<br />
A beautiful, deep chocolate-brown, grape tomato that is sweet,<br />
flavorful and has a crisp, crunchy texture. This fine variety comes<br />
from Russia and produces high yields, even in hot conditions.<br />
This will be a great addition to fresh markets as well as for chefs<br />
and home gardeners. A perfect salad tomato that has that real<br />
dark tomato taste, delicious! Pkt $2.50<br />
