The Orange seedlings

Mireille · March 31, 2010

I sewed 3 seeds of the variety The Orange and I have 1 plant with potato leafs and 2 plants with regular leafs. Which one is the good one ?

Regular leaf, definitely! I liberated The Orange from the USDA collection in the mid 90s so got the first look at it....I also have a catalog blurb in an early Henderson seed catalog. It should be a tomato that looks very much like the varieties Dr. Wyche's Yellow and Goldie, for two examples - vigorous indeterminate, regular leaf foliage and large oblate pale orange fruit with a mild sweet flavor.

Thank you so much Craig. I'll throw away the potato leaf one.

I have the same problem with Cindy's West Virginia. Which is the good one ?
