Beauty King
This has struggled somewhat with blight but has more fruit on it than many other varieties in the garden so I respect it for that. I wasn't sure what constituted ripe but I think this is it, rather than the one I had a couple days ago. The taste is good, on the sweet side, just the way I like my tomatoes. You have another hit, Brad.

Beautiful tomato. What does the interior coloration look like? Suze |

Hi Suze, would you like some seeds?
It's bicolor. There is red shot thru the yellow inside. Very pretty and I thought quite tasty. I was up at my neighbor's yesterday and brought her a huge and impressive Grandfather Ashlock which she oohhed and ahhed over. Then she said the Beauty King was a very tasty tomato, too. So I have 3 varieties that managed to "shine" in a very bad year and that was one of them. |

The first batch is dry, pm your address and I'll send them out the first of the week.
I'll send some Haley's Purple Comets, too. Barb |
