Juliet

I know some people hate this one but which Juliet. When I moved out here in 1999 I started some Juliet from Burpee. They produced mainly 1-1-1/4"l, 3/4" -1" in diameter grape shaped fruit with an "inney" at the base that I enjoyed in salads. I grew it until I was out of seeds. Then I bought transplants at a reputable nursery in 2003. These produced fruit almost twice as large. Thinking I got mismarked plants in 2004 I bought seed from TGS and started my own along with one transplant from that same nursery. Again all the large fruit - which I like a lot less than the smaller one. . Did the hybridizers change the original cross?
