Extra Eros Zlatovlaska

[dice]

Okay, version 3:

Eros is a red cultivar from East Germany, introduced to the US
by Milan Sodomka (who also introduced Stupice and a few other
fine Czech varieties to US growers).

Zlatovlaska is an orange cultivar introduced by a Russian
cultivar vendor.

Extra Eros Zlatovlaska is a yellow to orangy red cultivar
(reports vary) of unknown origin.

I do not think we should discount the Abundant Life catalog's
report of Eros as an originally East German cultivar without
evidence to the contrary. Here is a page where Forest Shorner
of Abundant Life transcribes Sodomka's original letter that
accompanied the seeds:

Note that a TOMATObase contributor has actually grown out
Extra Eros Zlatovlaska:

(Shorner's transcription of the letter spells Milan's last name
as "Sodomka", while Abundant Life's own website spells it as
"Sodomko" in their listing for seeds of Stupice, so it is
anyone's guess about that.)
