This is the discription of the (Jim Benton's Variety) of German Johnson taken from the Dana's Flower and Garden Place web site. This is the one Camo was referencing to. Ami
"German Johnson (Jim Benton's Variety). 80 days. Indeterminate. Regular leaf. One of my Mom's customers brought us the seed over 25 years ago. Dark pink and very large, these can't be beat for old fashioned tomato taste. Very sweet and meaty. They average 4-5 inches across. This has always been my own personal favorite for tomato sandwiches." And here is the discription from Dana's site for the other German Johnson she carries. "German Johnson (Agatha Pascote's variety). 80 days . Indeterminate. Regular leaf. This German Johnson was given to me in 2009 by a customer. It had been in her family from Carroll County since the late 1800's. Just as good as Jim Benton's variety, but we will keep the seeds separate. It has a great long and local history."
