indeterminate, as most of ours are<br />
unless otherwise noted.<br />
Packets contain a min. of 25<br />
seeds (unless stated otherwise).<br />
GYPSY #TP121<br />
Named for the Gypsies who live in Russia, this is one of the<br />
deepest, purplest, maroon tomatoes we have ever grown. It has<br />
a gorgeous color and good taste. Perfect, medium-sized globe<br />
fruit make this one of the nicest dark varieties. A lovely and<br />
colorful introduction from the great Soviet plant breeders. Pkt<br />
(15 seeds) $2.50<br />
JAPANESE BLACK TRIFELE #TP107<br />
80-90 days. Attractive tomatoes are the shape and size of a<br />
Bartlett pear, with a beautiful purplish-brick color. The fruit are<br />
perfect and smooth with no cracks. The flavor is absolutely<br />
sublime, having all the richness of fine chocolate. This was<br />
our heaviest producer for 2004. The plants produced loads<br />
of fruit all summer long. It has become a favorite with many<br />
seed savers, and we are glad to be able to offer such a colorful<br />
variety that is believed to have come from Russia... Don’t ask<br />
me about the name! Pkt $2.50<br />
MORADO #TP113<br />
85 days. This very rare tomato produces delicious 1 lb fruit<br />
that are dark purplish-pink in color, with green shoulders.<br />
The plants have excellent production, and fruit is uniform<br />
and crack resistant. Another great-tasting “black” tomato that<br />
should be a good variety for the market grower. Pkt $2.25<br />
NYAGOUS #TP109<br />
90 days. A wonderful, dark-colored ‘cluster tomato’ that<br />
produces perfect globe-shaped fruit that have smooth<br />
shoulders and are borne in clusters of 3-6 tomatoes! They are<br />
aromatic and have sweet, meaty flesh that has a rich taste.<br />
Another tomato that is superb for marketing and a must for<br />
every garden; simply lovely. This variety came to the USA<br />
from our friend, Reinhard Kraft, of Germany. Pkt $2.25<br />
PAUL ROBESON #TP110<br />
90 days. This famous tomato has almost a cult following<br />
among seed collectors and tomato connoisseurs, who<br />
simply cannot get enough of this variety’s amazing flavor<br />
that is so distinctive, sweet, and smoky. 7 to 10-oz fruit are a<br />
black-brick color. Named in honor of the famous black opera<br />
singer, star of King Solomon’s Mines, 1937. Paul Robeson,<br />
an American, was also a Russian Equal Rights Advocate for<br />
Blacks. This Russian variety was lovingly named in his honor.<br />
We are proud to offer such a wonderful variety. Pkt (10 seeds)<br />

rich. They are nicely shaped, deep, dark black-red in color. This<br />
is certainly one of our tastiest tomatoes. Pkt $2.50<br />
“Back in Europe we have that<br />
choice. Our food is labeled and it<br />
hasn’t increased any costs to the<br />
consumer or the farmer.”<br />
