The various Rutgers that you find on store shelves just aren't the same.
I don't know about the store shelves, but I grew up on a farm and we were growing Rutgers back in 50's and 60's and as I posted in the link above there are several strains of them but just a couple are more popular and available than others and if you go to Tania's Website you'll read about some of them.

There are many places that sell seed for Rutgers, TGS is one, Sandhill Preservation is another.

Above is a link to the Rutgers page at her website and see all the other strains of Rutgers as well.

You can click on those to see seed sources, just as you can see seed sources on the page I linked to for standadr Rutgers.

Hope that helps.
