Potato leaf foliage productively bears beautiful, large, juicy beefsteak fruit.

With excellent flavor, the color on this tomato is just as amazing. Deep red

at the blossom end of the fruit gradually tappers to bright yellow-orange

near the stem creating almost a tie-died effect. Similar coloring is reflected

when the fruit is sliced exposing a bright, dense, fleshy seed cavity.

1/2 inch in diameter. Very sweet, delicious flavor.  Great for garden grazing!

formerly of the University of Maine, who first propagated the variety from a

descendant of the first wild tomatoes domesticated in Mexico.

 

 

Mortgage Lifter

80 days-Indeterminate

Mortgage Lifter is said to have been developed in the 1930’s by mechanic

Radiator Charlie Byles from Logan, West Virginia. His mission was to breed a

bigger (or perhaps the biggest!) and overall better tomato.  Supposedly, he payed

off his mortgage by selling the seedlings for a dollar each!  We like this tomato for

its high yields of massive (over 2lbs) bright red beefsteak fruits with excellent,

mild flavor.  A classic American heirloom tomato.

 

 

OSU Blue

80 days

Developed at Oregon State University, this was introduced as the very first

commercially available blue tomato. Bred using traditional methods, this small

to medium sized, round tomato has increased levels of antioxidants found in

most foods that are naturally blue/purple . The fruit ripens from green to true

deep blue and will show some red at the blossom end if left to fully ripen on the

vine (interior flesh is red). The blue color of the skin is deepened with exposure

to sunlight, so pruning can help bring out this tomato’s unique color!

Foliage also is a gorgeous deep blue-green.

fruit.  Italian heirloom.

Green Zebra tomato; pair together for a unique visual treat!

 

 

Roma

85 days-Determinate

Roma paste tomatoes are great for sauce and have a high yield of medium-sized,

red, plum shaped fruit on plants that can have a purplish hue.

 

 

Rose de Berne

75 days

Uniform, round, rose colored, sweet fruit weighing 6oz on average.  Plants are highly

productive.  We found this variety to do exceptionally well trellised

in our hoop-house.

 

 

Rosso Sicilian

80 days-Indeterminate

Rare, ribbed fruits reminiscent of a flower when cut in half along the middle

exposing a somewhat hollow seed cavity. Very little water content and great flavor

make this medium sized tomato good for sauce, canning, or paste.

Originally from Sicily.

 

 

Ruby Gold

85 days-Indeterminate

Mostly deep yellow with marbled streaks of ruby red and pink, these large beefsteak

tomatoes (each averaging over 1lb) have excellent, sweet, non-acidic flavor.

As beautiful sliced as they are whole. Surprisingly high yielding for a beefsteak.

Truckers’ Favorite

85 days-Indeterminate

Very uniform shape and ripening as well as resistance to cracking made this slicer

stand out as a shipping gem in the early 1900’s.
