Paul Robeson Tomato – SEED
90 days. This famous tomato has almost a cult following among seed collectors and tomato connoisseurs. They simply cannot get enough of this variety's amazing flavor that is so distinctive, sweet and smokey. 7-10 oz. fruit are a black-brick color. Named in honor of the famous opera singer star of 'King Solomon's Mines', 1937. Paul Robeson was an equal rights advocate who stood up the the infamous McCarthy committee in the 1950's and had his career nearly destroyed as a result. He was idolized in Russia as well as all around the world. This Russian heirloom was lovingly named in his honor.
Indeterminate but in my garden very well behaved so I would say semi-indeterminate

Tomato -‘Pruden’s Purple’
PRUDENS PURPLE : A personal favourite! If I had to choose one tomato this would be it, grown here for many seasons, it never disappoints. It’s not purple, but rather a deep red-pink, solid meat beefsteak type with exceptional taste!
Tomato – ‘Black Krim ‘
Black Krim is a very popular heirloom, my personal favourite! It originates from the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea. Great tasting and totally unique!
Tomato – ‘Carbon’
Highly recommended tomato! Carbon produce nice large beefsteak fruit that are beautiful, mostly blemish free and delicious! Fantastic whether eating fresh or making sauce. Winner of the 2005 “Heirloom Garden Show” best-tasting tomato award. These have won taste awards coast to coast in the last few years. The fruit is smooth, large, and beautiful, being one of the darkest and prettiest of the purple types we have seen. It seems to have an extra dose of the complex flavor that makes dark tomatoes famous."
"Rich, complex flavors made this variety the winner of a recent heirloom tomato taste testing at Cornell University."

Tomato – ‘Japanese Black Trifele ‘
If you have never grown this beauty then you are in for a treat! Gorgeous to look at and eat tomatoes are the shape and size of a Bartlett pear with a beautiful purplish-brick color, deepening to a burnished mahogany and finally to a darkened, nearly black base. The meaty interior has similar opulent shades and an incomparable, almost indescribably complex and rich flavor to match. The fruit are perfect and smooth with no cracks. The flavor is absolutely sublime, having all the richness of fine chocolate.
tomato – ‘Opalka’ Heirloom Paste
They are meaty with few seeds, and unlike most common paste tomatoes, 'Opalka' actually has a good flavour, making sauces and pastes even better. Expect copious yields of 3x5" massive solid bull’s horn–shaped red fruits with dry texture and few seeds. Also dries well. While some tomatoes falter during hot dry spells, Opalka produces consistently.This heirloom tomato is amazing to behold and difficult to find. If you grow tomatoes for paste, this is the one to grow. Polish heirloom brought by the Opalka family to Amsterdam, NY, around 1900. A shy seed producer, it consistently gets dropped for that reason by commercial enterprises, so we’re happy to be able to offer it!

Tomato – ‘Plourde Heirloom’
Beautifully perfect, round red, firm fleshed fruits with an exquisite taste! A nice all purpose tomato. These are quite a compact plant and perfect for smaller spaces, containers and raised beds! A perfect slicer and a compact plant - priceless!
Grown since 1925 in Saint-Alexandre de Kamouraska, Quebec, by Aurélius Plourde and his family. Handed to Jeannot Pelletier and then to René Paquet. The latter cultivated and selected it before introducing it in Seeds of Diversity Catalogue.

Tomato – ‘Sart Roloise’
Sart Roloise tomato is a newer variety that has quickly gained popularity. Very unique and distinct! Stunning colour of a stained glass masterpiece, bursting with sweet, fruity and complex flavor with just the right acidity. It is a cross of the White Wonder tomato, which lends pineapple sweet notes, and the Baby Blue tomato, which explains the deep indigo blue brushstrokes on the shoulders! There may also be bluish blackish vertical streaks on parts of this beautiful tomato.
Beautiful to see and eat!

Tomato – ‘Thorburns Terra Cotta’
I am so pleased to be able to offer this hard to find heirloom! This unique tomato was a real thrill to grow with its gorgeous glow and simply outstanding flavours! Highly recommended! Makes a really interesting coloured (in a good way) sauce especially mixed in with some darker coloured varieties and looks stunning on a mixed tomato plate, sliced to show off its colours. The tomatoes are a small slicer, not as large as a beefsteak.
