TOMATO CULTURE

Anna Maria's Heart     $3.00
70-85 days - Indeterminate 6-10 ounce fruits of very good flavor. Some growers consider this variety superior to “Pink Oxheart.” Meaty with an excellent tomato flavor. Performs well in a humid climate. (seed courtesy of Carolyn Male)

Argentina        $3.00
80 days, Regular leaf, Indeterminate,  3-4 inch slicing to beefsteak type. Somewhat ribbed or pleated, bright pink fruits that growers report have an excellent taste, with a pleasing balance of acid to sweetness.  Seems to do well under cooler conditions. A productive variety and quite rare today.

Arkansas Traveler  $3.00
76-90 days - Indeterminate, slicing.  Properly known as "Traveler" but more widely known as listed here. This is a variety with a dubious history,having been released in 1971 or 1968 according to some authorities by Joe McFerran of the University of Arkansas Horticulture Department, which makes it not quite an heirloom to some, according to a UA publication.  Other aficionados as stoutly maintain that the variety was released by UA, but over one hundred years ago!   We don't know for sure as we weren't there in any case, but here's what we're sure of:  Crack resistant, blemish-free, nearly spherical fruits are 8 to 16 ounces.  Rose pink-to-red tomatoes have superior flavor.  Large vines (to 7 feet) are productive, moderately disease resistant and really take the heat and humidity!   A Southern favorite, and indispensible in gardens here in Southern Missouri as well. 

Bali   $3.00
70-80 days -  Indeterminate, 2"-3", regular leaf, slicing.  Oblate, deeply ribbed fruit are an amazing raspberry-pink in color.  Their outstanding flavor is sweet and spicy with a pronounced fragrance that makes them a delight to eat.  Very productive, robust plants.  Believed to carry some tolerance to blight diseases and known to do fairly well in cool, rainy summer where others fail.  This heirloom comes from the island of Bali, Indonesia.

Belize Pink Heart  $3.00  New
78 days- Indeterminate. Medium large fruits shaped as much like a heart as a tomato can be. Pink-burgundy colored, these jewels are very juicy and tender, with a mild, well-balanced flavor. Recently introduced by Baker Creek Seed Co and originally collected in San Ignacio, Belize. Unforgettable!

Bradley  $3.00  New Sorry, not available
75-80 days - Semi-determinate. Slightly oblate, smooth, 6-ounce fruits are mild tasting and mostly free from blemishes. Yields over a relatively short period, so plan to enjoy the fruits fresh and then can the rest. A University of Arkansas, Dr. Joe McFerran introduction from 1961, that is quite well suited to high-humidity areas. Tolerant to Fusarium wilt.

Brandywine, Cherry   $3.00  New
70 days - Indeterminate. Regular-leafed plant yields 1.5 to 2 inch cherries that are like miniature Brandywines in appearance, and the taste is comparable to Brandywine. Well worth a try for those who appreciate Brandywine's singular flavor.

Brandywine, Pink  $3.00
78 days - Indeterminate, to 1 1/2 pounds. Potato leaf, beefsteak good for slicing and eating fresh, yet sufficiently dense-fleshed that some gardeners insist upon it for a canner as well.  Possibly the most well beloved heirloom tomato!  Brandywine is considered by many the standard by which tomato flavor is judged.  Especially recommended for areas with cooler summers, or for late-summer planting in the South.

Brandywine, Sudduth's   $3.00
75-85 days  Indeterminate, 1-2 pounds. This potato-leaf beefsteak is considered by some to be the "original" Pink Brandywine.  From Dorris Sudduth Hill of Tennessee, whose family had grown it for more than 80 years, when she shared seed with legendary heirloom seed collector Ben Quisenberry in the 1980's.  Has all the traits of  Pink Brandywine listed above; some growers feel that the flavor is even more splendid and the yields greater than that sometimes temperamental variety.

Brimmer Pink   $3.00  New
83 days – Indeterminate, slicer that is also serviceable as a canner provided that an appropriate recipe is followed, since it is a low-acid type. Massive fruits to 2.5 pounds, nearly all meat with very few seeds. Low acid like most pinks, but high sugar content makes the variety remarkably sweet. Virginia heirloom that possibly derived from Ponderosa around 1900;  won a Grand Prize at the Jamestown Exposition, Sewell's Point, Virginia in 1907.

The Dutchman   $3.00
80 days - Indeterminate, to 3 lbs., regular leaf, beefsteak for slicing/canning. 
Introduced by the legendary Merlin W. Gleckler of Glecklers Seedmen (who was one of the first rare seed dealers).  Their 1958 catalog states, "Here is an extremely old, large fruited pink-skinned tomato. While not classified as new, it is practically extinct as far as securing seed.  In fact it is doubtful if seed has ever been sold by any seedmen.  Only by handing down by generations of one family has this tomato existed.  Huge pink-skinned fruits; very meaty red flesh; weight up to 3 pounds and more.  Flavor is very sweet and without any acid.  Large dense indeterminate vines with heavy foliage."   Appreciated by discerning growers to this day.

Millionaire   $3.00
80 days - Indeterminate, slicing, 8-16 ounces.  The deep pink fruit are lobed or ruffled.  In our opinion they taste almost as good as Brandywine, and are much more productive and easy to grow.  Yielded over a long season in our garden last year.  This is an old Ozark favorite, which was originally grown by Forrester Hutsell of Mountain Grove, Missouri in the 1950's.

Missouri Pink Love Apple   $3.00

Mortgage Lifter   $3.00 
85-90 days - Indeterminate, slicing.  A classic pink still in demand by gardeners.  This large meaty tomato has few seeds and can produce up to 1 pound fruit with a rich sweet flavor.   The well known story of its origin is that it was developed by M.C. Byles of Logan, West Virginia and reportedly helped to pay off his mortgage when he sold the plants at a dollar each in the 1940's.  Byles was affectionately known by the nickname "Radiator Charlie" from the business he ran at the bottom of a steep hill where trucks would often overheat, and this variety is also known as Radiator Charlie. But the variety may have actually been developed by the Estler family in the early 1920's.

Omar's Lebanese   $3.00
80 days, Indeterminate, slicing, Regular-leaf.  The fruit get positively enormous, reaching 3-4 pounds, although 1 to 1 ½ lb is more usual.  But flavor isn't sacrificed to size--the fruits are a delicious blend of tart and sweet.  A Carolyn Male introduction, from seeds originally furnished by a colleague of hers, Omar Saab, who brought them from a family farm in the hills of Lebanon.  Despite its origins some growers feel that the variety's sweet flavor is best expressed in cooler summer conditions and more variable when grown in the hot summers of the South.
