I just received my package today, and just love the huge variety and seeing seeds from tomatoes I have never heard of. I always ask Gary to send me some unknown or unusual ones. I really got a kick out of these two labels!
Who has more info on them?

Speaking of misspellings, I wonder if the Scalone "paste" seeds I received are really Scatolone?

My father used to grow the Scatolone and I didn't mind it. I ignored that the name of the variety comes from picking the tomato when pink and and storing it in a carton ("scatolone" in Italian) to ripen. You always learn something from tomatoes |

I got these seeds in my first MMMM swap. Would any of you know about these?
Accession PI 647466 99GI tomato - I found it's from Mexico, but that's all. Accession PI 119215 tomato - It's from Venezuela Last edited by AlittleSalt; January 4, 2017 at 04:22 PM. |

Original seed was sourced from Wintersown in 2013, what I sent into MMMM was from this summer. IND, 75 DTM as stated on original label. Mine were later than that but I did get it into the ground rather late. I still got 7.5 lbs from my one plant, which I thought was pretty good! It has the droopy, wispy appearance of most hearts. Not stingy on seeds either. I don't know anything on the history or where the name originated. Here are my growing notes: Rose de L'Omio: Productive heart, the critters seemed to like this one a lot. Ripens to a vibrant pink and has good flavor and creamy texture. |

Well one looks like a smiley face without the eyes, and the other one looks like an eye. So if I grow them out, they might be known as Smiley and Evil Eye.
Unless I hear different.

I think it is this https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlo...spx?id=1546927
Picture/description http://www.annapolisseeds.com/product-p/082.htm The other PI 119215 is possibly a medium size tomato from Venezuela - collected in 1936. https://training.ars-grin.gov/gringl...spx?id=1131802 (Hmm, a medium tomato - could be one of thousands.)

Great, now the only one I still need info on is Ludmilla. Salt... I found this for Green Envy F1 http://www.thompson-morgan.com/veget...envy/tt38813TM and Burpee has the Green Envy too. Mojo F1 ... http://www.holmesseed.com/sweet-mojo-f1-tomato/ Ice cherry ... Looks like you might be right that it is Italian Ice cherry. Looks to be a good cherry to try. The only other thing I could find was White Ice cherry which looks like it the same as the Italian Ice only they calling it white as when they turn white they edible. https://www.amazon.com/HEIRLOOM-Whit.../dp/B00KZAZ0NW |

http://tomatoville.com/showthread.ph...light=ludmilla Possibly my submission, but unsure which Ludmilla. It was quite a hefty size fruit , and very prolific. It looks like Burpee Supersauce but tastes waaay better! - Lisa |

I got a Rozella 16' pack and was wondering which Rozzella it is? Rozella Crimson or Rozella Purple?
I also received a package labeled EPB. I'm guessing it's Eva Purple Ball? -Zach

No pink bundle, just these two, but thanks to your PM, the mystery is solved. Of course some more mysteries still remain.
