Thanks for the info, Carolyn. As I wrote, Victory Seeds was my source for the seeds. I had already looked on Tatiana's TomatoBase, and read some of the early 20th-century publications that describe Marvelosa as a favorite of Southern truck growers, before opening this thread. Since you seem to be disparaging the variety (have you grown it?), I'll mention that Craig's 2007 list of varieties from the USDA describes many as "ho hum," "so so," "boring," "undistinguished," and "pretty good." "A good variety" sounds like high praise indeed! (YMMV.) Again, if anyone has firsthand experience of this variety, I'm all ears!
