I checked Darrell Kellog's entry for Kellogg's Breakfast and he gives no other origin than himself, by fiat, and all he says is that it's gotten great reviews. So I'm assuming it's from MI and haven't seen info to the contrary elsewhere but would like to know, if so, where.
Off hand the only other three I can think of, other than ones already mentioned, are the three listed in my book on the Aker's West VA page and those are:
Germaid Red, from my friend Don Podolia, now deceased, who was from WV and said the variety itself was. Is available commercially
West Virginia Straw
Golden Ponderosa ( see the SESE description on that one as to WV)
I was just looking up West Virginia Straw and saw two more, probably neither available commercially;
West Virginia
West Virginia Penitentiary, from same in Wheeling WV
What the heck, I'll just look in the 2009 Yearbook in the different color classes for something that has West Virginia at the start of the variety name but that's not good way to ID varieties from WV:
Yellow/Orange; West Virginia Yellow
Pink; West Virginia Pink Slicer, West Virginia Straw, West Virginia Sweet Meat, and all but the Straw one were introduced by Patty_b who posts here. Patty had sent me the slicer and sweet meat ones but they didn't grow out true for me and I know she planned to go back and select to purify them.
Red; West Va 63
Other Colors; West Virginia Hillbilly
As I said, not the best way to look for ones from WV but I'm just not in the mood to read prior Yearbooks or to read through the 4000 varieties in the current Yearbook.
If I were to take the time to read through the tomato section of the SSE Yearbook, all 4,000 varieties, I KNOW I'd find many more.
One suggestion is to contact Randy, wvtomatoman, who posts here b'c I think he may have some others to suggest.
Aha, just thinking of Randy, he just introduced two new varieties from WV, one is Cosner from Braxton County, a pink, and Paw Paw, a gold/red bicolor. He sent me seeds for both but my Cosner plant died and I didn't grow Paw Paw. Both are listed in the 2009 SSE YEarbook and when he asked me I gave him info as to how to send seeds for trial to Linda at TGS.
Hope that helps.
