So...could....
Two Timing Willie be Box Car Willie?
Good Old Abe Lincoln is probably Abraham Lincoln
anyone heard of Midnight Star?
Black Forest?
Sunshine Heirloom - is it Sunray?
Ty's Taxi is likely Taxi
Pennsylvania Great White is likely Great White
Penny's Persimmon....is probably Persimmon
could Penny's Striped Green be....Green zebra?
Golden Marzano or Roman Candle - if it is Roman Candle, why Golden Marzano?
The problem is that people who purchase the mis-named or renamed or whatever varieties will, if they save seeds and pass them on, use the new names.
For goodness sake, if you look at the current state of the SSE Yearbook, it is clear that we don't need any more names for tomatoes....what we need is to honor the names that they already have!
Arggggh.......
