Galina's or Galina's Yellow
Most of the time, I've seen this tomato referred to as Galina's, but every now and then, Galina's Yellow is used. If there is a 'correct' name, which is it?

My original seed package from Seeds Trust (1997) lists this one simply as "Galina".

Same tomato. It is an example of how easily a color name can get attached to a variety - then voila - two names for the same tomato (best example - Brandywine ends up being called Pink Brandywine with increasing frequency).

I don't remember what the original pack from Seeds Trust said b'c Craig bought all of them, split the packs sent me half, I paid half and he had the packs.
We bought all of them ASAP after Bill McDorman first listed them. I've called it Galina and I've also called it Galina's Yellow, I think. It's listed in the SSE Yearbooks as Galina. Same deal with Lillian's Yellow Heirloom, which is the correct name but most of the time folks leave off the Heirloom part of the name. Or Lillian's Red Kansas Paste where folks leave off the Paste part. Carolyn |

So it's whatever you choose to call it. I like Galina. It's hard to shorten that any further.
