In 1991 I grew out 12 differently named bicolors to see if they were the same or different. I grew 18 plants of each, 1 18 cell flat of each variety. I Don't remember all of the names offhand, but my question was answered soon after transplanting the seedlings to flats.

At about the 3rd or 4th true leaf stage of growth, with flats grouped together to grow on a bench it was evident to me each variety was entirely different. Eight of the varieties I grew that year had very similar fruit, one of those, had a similar shaped and sized fruit, but a majority of its fruit had sunken blossom ends. It was an outstanding beauty who's fruit could be recognized from shape alone. The other 4 varieties all had similar, but smaller fruit.
