What is the difference between the Original Goliath and the Old Fashioned Goliath? Seeds are available for both.

I didn't realize that Goliath is an heirloom variety, dating back to the late 1800's and I've been growing them for years, but now I wonder which one I'm growing. I think I'm growing the Original, since the description in one seed catalog says the Old Fashioned Goliath matures in 78 days and the "fruits are oblate, a little bit flattened, with slightly rough shoulders."

The same catalog says the Original Goliath matures in 65 days and has a, "virtually blemish-free exterior from tall vigorous plants that produce yield after yield, and modern disease resistance makes Goliath widely adaptable."

I'm hoping someone can help educate me on these two, which is somewhat confusing due to the similar names. Which one is the most common that we now see for sale in nurseries, WalMart, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.

Thanks!
Don
