Default Dwarfs at the garden center

I heard that a local garden center had a sale on mushroom compost, (buy one get one) so I went down there to get a few bags. While I was there I checked out their selection of vegetables. While they had all the regular stuff (Celebrities, Romas, Sweet 100's), I also noticed they had some obvious dwarfs- without any variety names. They called them "Patio tomatoes" and left it at that. They were gorgeous plants, sturdy, short, rugose leaves, nice and broad. Textbook. But frustrating, since I didn't have a clue which one (s) they were offering. Not that I need any more tomato plants this year - I have around 200 plants now, which is downright ridiculous for two people to start with, but then, we have a lot of jars and canner and a dehydrator, so we'll deal. But they wanted $8 a plant for the dwarfs. I was tempted, but think I'll put a few varieties on my grow list and buy seeds instead, for next year.
