40 varieties to choose from)UPDATED FOR 2025
​2025 SEED SPECIAL: Any 10 different black, gray or bronze tomatoes $20.00
Black Crimson
Black Crimson- Mid-season, Indeterminate, Regular Leaf. I found this to be the most striking looking of any tomato. Fruits appear to be multicolored bronze-golden-green at the top to a deep purple. Flesh is flavorful and colorful. Flat, beefsteak type. Pkt. $3.00 Certified Organic Seed UNAVAILABLE IN 2025
Indian Stripe
Indian Stripe- Mid-season, Indeterminate, Regular Leaf, a strain of Cherokee Purple that has fruits of a lighter color, more fruits per truss and slightly smaller in size. All else is the same as Cherokee Purple. Cherokee Purple was from Tennessee and Indian Stripe was found in South Central Arkansas where the Cherokee had (and still have) a presence. Pkt. $3.00 Certified Organic Seed
Poll Robson Angolan (aka Paul Robeson)
Poll Robson Angolan (aka Paul Robeson)- Early, Indeterminate, Regular Leaf, greenish red/brown fruits about 6 oz. I received the seed with the name as is listed here and while the assumption is that it’s the same as the variety Paul Robeson, that isn’t known for sure. Pkt. $2.50 Certified Organic Seed
Purple Smudge
Purple Smudge- Late, Indeterminate, pinkish-red, 2 to 4 oz. It is listed here because it is the only tomato that I know of that in the unripe stage the fruits will get a deep, eggplant purple color when maturing during cool weather. This deep eggplant purple will not show if they ripen during a warm period of time. Pkt. $2.50 Certified Organic Seed
