BLACK PLUM #TP129<br />
70 days. Indeterminate plants covered in dainty little<br />
plum-shaped fruits, 2" long by 1" wide. Mahogany-skinned<br />
berries show some green-shoulders, and have the complex<br />
flavor gardeners expect in a black/purple type. Makes a<br />
wonderful salsa or spaghetti sauce, yet juicy enough for<br />
fresh use. Pkt $2.50<br />
BLACK PRINCE #TP104<br />
70 days. An heirloom from Irkutsk, Siberia. The 5 oz<br />
tomatoes are round and very uniform; the color is a<br />
wonderful deep blackish-chocolate brown. The flavor is as<br />
deep, sweet and rich as the color. A unique salad tomato,<br />
the plants produce a large and early crop. A good tomato<br />
for fine markets. Pkt $2.50<br />
BLACK FROM TULA #TP103<br />
70-80 days. A unique, large, 8 to 12-oz, dark tomato<br />
exhibiting a rich, deep purplish-brown color. Some seed<br />
savers say it is the best tasting of all the dark tomatoes.<br />
Very rich, old-fashioned flavor, sweet and spicy. A rare<br />
Russian heirloom. Pkt $2.50<br />
CARBON #TP112<br />
90 days. Winner of the 2005 “Heirloom Garden Show”<br />
best-tasting tomato award. These have won taste awards<br />
coast to coast in the last few years, so we were proud to<br />
locate a small supply of seed. The fruit are smooth, large,<br />
and beautiful, being one of the darkest and prettiest<br />
of the purple types we have seen. They seem to have<br />
an extra dose of the complex flavor that makes dark<br />
tomatoes famous. Pkt (20 seeds) $2.50<br />
CHEROKEE PURPLE #TP101<br />
80 days. An old Cherokee Indian heirloom, pre-1890 variety;<br />
beautiful, deep, dusky purple-pink color, superb sweet<br />
flavor, and very-large-sized fruit. Try this one for real oldtime<br />
tomato flavor. My favorite dark tomato and one of our<br />
best selling varieties. Pkt $2.50 or 1/4 oz $11.00<br />
CHOCOLATE #TP141<br />
Medium-sized slicing type fruits, about 6 oz, round and<br />
slightly flattened, rich bronze-red in color, with slight<br />
green shouldering. The flesh is deep red and fragrant,<br />
being sweet and minerally tasting. They vary somewhat in<br />
shape. From Russian seed. Pkt $2.25<br />
CHOCOLATE STRIPES #TP118<br />
One of the most amazing tomatoes we have ever<br />
grown. For both color and taste this variety excels. Fruit<br />
is deep reddish-brown inside, the outside is covered<br />
with beautiful orange and lime colored stripes. One of<br />
the most unique looking tomatoes we have ever tried.<br />
It is very sweet and yet has a full-rich flavor, and this is<br />
the reason this tomato places very high in taste tests. A<br />
favorite here with the staff at Baker Creek. Fruit is medium<br />
to large and are of a slightly flattened globe shape. Pkt<br />
(10 seeds) $2.00<br />
CRÈME BRULEE #TP136<br />
A lovely tomato from the former Soviet Union. This<br />
variety produces pretty, globe shaped fruit of medium<br />
size. They are a stunning deep caramel color with<br />
hints of red and chocolate. The flavor is rich, sweet<br />
and full-bodied, and the texture is tender and smooth.<br />
An attractive tomato that is great for both home and<br />
market. Pkt $2.50<br />
GOLOVA NEGRA #TP137<br />
80-90 days. Full-sized slicer in warm tones of deep red<br />
to mahogany. The oblate fruits reach 12 ounces, and<br />
are richly pleated and folded. Fruits are extravagantly<br />
juicy, and it is for juicing that we mainly recommend this<br />
variety. It is also unusually mild for a “purple” tomato,<br />
having just a hint of the earthiness and complexity that<br />
this category is known for. Originally from Russia. Pkt<br />
