Sorry, my beeper isn't working.

Goldkonigen has been listed in the older SSE Yearbooks as Goldene Konigen, means gold king in German and it's a large yellow to gold beefsteak, indet., RL and about 80 days. I never grew it.

Monserrat I know, which is a traditionmal Catalan variety and is indet, flat fruits, RL and very ribbed like so many Spanish varieties. Seeds for Monserrat in a coimmercial pack were brought back to me from a friend who was in Spain. Muchameal is another Spanish variety that I have grown and should be quite similar. The rosa would mean a variant of Monserrat, the original, which is pink. I've never heard of a pink variant of Monserrat before.

As for the others, without knowing the fruit color it's a real bummer to go thru the SSE pages to see if they are there.

And even for the above two I had to remind myself of spellings, etc. by going back to a much earlier SSE Yearbook.

So if anyone has some SSE Yearbooks and wants to go digging, go for it, but not me, not now.

Tomatoaddict, have you tried Googling them at all? And you might want to check Ventmarin, which surely will have more info. That's a French site, Passion Tomato, can access thru Google and surely they'd have some of them listed. The translation to English goes slowly, but I think most folks know enough basic French words to ID the major traits of most varieties.

Thanks Carolyn,
I hope you are feeling better and your recovery is progressing.
I did google most of them and tried it various ways and didn't get anything. I will try the French site.
