I have to send seeds to a friend that doesn't believe heirlooms can be better than the hybrid starts she gets at wal mart. Off of my list below, what 2 or 3 would you choose to send if you have 1 shot at an impression? Please keep in mind not only taste but yield and tomato size and appearance as well. They will be for the Chicago area, whatever zone that is.
