Well, Carolyn, this is the plant that came up from the seeds I received from Farmer Shawn. I originally got the following:

1. Alice's Egypt ============== 2 seedlings / 9 seeds
2. Bulgarskoye Chudo ========== 1 seedling / 13 seeds
3. Father ================== 2 seedlings / 9 seeds
4. Grandma Oliver's Chocolate ===== 1 seedling / 24 seeds
5. La Grosse a Lulu ============ 1 seedling / 6 seeds (did not survive)
6. That Russian Tomato ========= 1 seedling / 7 seeds

We had germination problems with Grandma Oliver's Chocolate and Shawn sent me some more seeds. I finally got one seedling after 24 seeds. I got a few more seeds from another source and had 100% germination from those.

This is from the only seedling that came up for this variety from the seeds in your offer that I received. The seeds from your offer were the very first planted in my germination flats. Add to that my procedures in planting, and the chance that a mixup occurred here is ZERO.

Whether or not there two or more varieties with the same name, this is the fruit that came from the seeds sent to me from your offer. I can say that I don't think I've grown this one, whatever its name really is. It's bigger than Prue and the plant is loaded up more than Casino Paste.
