These tomatoes have a
sweet rich flavor and turn deep pink when mature. This variety was
developed in the 1930's by Mr. Marshall Cletis
Byles - Radiator Charlie
- of Logan, WV to help pay off his home mortgage. He was able to pay off
his mortgage in 6 years by selling the tomato plants. He crossed a German
Johnson, Beefsteak, and Italian & English varieties to come up with this
unique variety without being acidic.

Black Krim |
This heirloom tomato originates from
the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea, near the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine.
It is believed that soldiers returning home from the Crimean War, in the
late 19th century, gathered these seeds and began sharing them. As a
result these seeds were later widely distributed throughout Europe. Black
Krim tomatoes are extremely tasty, and will add not only great flavor, but
visual interest to your salads. These tomatoes are also great for slicing
and cooking.

San Marzano |
The story goes that the first seed of
the San Marzano tomato came to Campania in 1770, as a gift from the
Kingdom of Peru to the Kingdom of Naples, and that it was planted in the
area that corresponds to the present commune of San Marzano. Sounds good,
but some disagree. Either way, a paste tomato with pointy end, heavy walls
and little juice, so it's great for tomato sauce. It is low in sugar and
acid, which gives it superior flavor when cooked. |
