MINI-MARBLE SALAD MIX
Cherries to sprinkle over your summer salads.
Beam's Yellow Pear - YELLOW
This type was our select yellow pear as it has been a winner in many taste tests of yellow pear types. Endless supply of bright gold/yellow 1½ inch pear tomatoes with great taste. Ideal for salads. Indeterminate. 70-80 days Picture courtesy of Stacy and Curtis, MO
Black Cherry- BLACK
**SOLD OUT**
Perfectly round cherries on lush foliage. These are a dusty, pretty dark rose/purple, large cherry variety. Very nice contrast to any salad tomato, taste-wise and looks to boot! I thought they were a little fruity, or maybe it was their color that made me think of purple grapes? Indeterminate, 65 days.
Golden Pearl - YELLOW
Tiny golden pea size cherries grow in clusters and are so sweet and fruity. Super salad topper. Indeterminate. 60 days
Isis Candy - RED AND YELLOW
Gorgeous fruits are marbled with orange and red. Rich flavor is a complex blend of sweetness and fruitiness. Each fruit has a cat’s eye starburst on the blossom end. Plants are loaded with ¾” - 1½” fruits on short trusses in double rows of 6-8. Indet. 70-80 days.

Matt's Wild Cherry - RED
**SOLD OUT UNTIL MAY 6th
This is a small red mini-marble cherry that is so incredibly tasty. Everyone I know agrees that this tomato has “real tomato flavor”. You just have to try it to believe it. This is a sprawling type that grows extremely wide. If the soil is left undisturbed year to year, it will reseed its self, so quarantine this one for easy identification of volunteers. One plant can sprawl into a 8’ circle. Unless you are giving these as gifts or you are making an office order for several gardeners, I don’t suggest getting more than one of this type. These serve great in a mix-your-own oil and vinegar salad dressing as a side dish. Indeterminate. 65 days

Purple Jade – BLACK
New for 2011. We do not have much information on this type, however, the seed source has provided excellent cultivars in the past. Produces 1 oz. “black” (purple) cherry tomatoes in clusters of 8-10. Indeterminate, 60-70 days.
Sugar Snack - RED
Sweet red cherry hybrid tomatoes come on vigorous plants. Fruits form on long clusters with an incredible number of tomatoes. Higher yields than other varieties, and fruit can hold well on the vine. This tomato is sooooooo sweet, when left on the vine a little longer, it tastes like it was injected with sugar or rolled in sugar. Some love it and some hate it!!! This is an absolute must for babies and toddlers who have been known to absolutely love this variety! Indeterminate. 65 days.
Super Sweet 100 - RED
This is a hybrid, improved version of the original Sweet 100 with better sugar/acid balance, increased disease resistance, and less chance of cracking/splitting. High yield as fruits hang in long clusters of these 1”, 1 oz. bright red cherries. Staked/caged plants will hold 100 or more fruits in long strands. Ind. 65 days.
Sweet Baby Girl Hybrid - RED
Seed company calls this “The best variety in the world for home growing”, with incredible sets of luscious red fruits in long clusters on compact plants. Crack-resistant bright red fruits that weigh less than 1 oz. and keep well after harvest. Resists Tobacco Mosaic Virus. Indeterminate. 65 days. Picture courtesy of Stacy and Curtis, MO
Tomatoberry - RED SEED CHARGE + 0.50
These look like small strawberries in color and shape. Bright red, tapered fruits are just over one inch in lengh. These are very juicy fruit that are extremely sweet once mature. They hold well on the vine and resist cracking. These are really cute and new for 2010….I hope we like their flavor as much as their plate appeal! Indeterminate, 60-70 days. (This plant costs 50 cents more due to a much more costly seed for whatever reason.) Picture courtesy of Stacy and Curtis, MO
Tommy Toes – RED
We are returning this variety to our list for 2011. Although it is a good variety (and we have been growing it secretly for its fans), we eliminated it from our list a few years ago just to eliminate confusion. This cherry tomato is a large cherry, not a small wee one like Matt’s Wild Cherry! So many folks who asked for “tommy toes” were actually wanting a much smaller cherry! With this heirloom cultivar that we offer here, you can expect 1” round, red tomatoes that range from round to an occasional oval grape type. Resists early blight and black rot. Indeterminate, 70 days. Picture courtesy of Stacy and Curtis, MO
White Currant - WHITE
These are definitely comparable to Matt’s Wild Cherry, only they are of the palest yellow, almost white. They are another wild type with tiny shape and lots of tomato flavor that has a sweet, tangy flavor as its name suits it well. This is another heirloom that will re-seed itself if you plant it where you can identify its “volunteers” later. If you like Matt’s Wild Cherry, try this one as well! Indet. Picture compliments of
