Not thinking I would ever find a purple variety tomato plant in my local market, to my surprise I came across a plant called Black Prince. I scoffed, thinking it's probably any purple variety to which a clever marketer added the word "Prince," but now I remember that I came across that name somewhere else and that it may be a legitimate variety, so I'm going to plant it. Can anybody tell me more about Black Prince? The label says it matures in 70 days, which I'm thinking might be nice and early for a purple.
