Brown Derby, Brown Stripe, Brandystripe ... ???

In my list of favorites is an old Tater Mater page where Tom Wagner says, "Some of my earlier releases include Green Zebra, Green Grape, Greenwich, Green Bell Pepper Tomato, Lime Green Salad (Green Elf), Banana Legs, Elberta Girl, Brown Derby, Schimmeig Stoo, Gchimmeig Creg, Greensleeves, Brandystripe, Bown Stripe, Troo Glass, Banana Cream, Snow Berries ..."

I've grown only Green Zebra and Lime Green Salad, but that only stimulates my curiosity and my desire to try out the other "released" Tom Wagner varieties. Yeah, I realize he has hundreds of "unreleased" cultivars ... but I'd be satisfied to grow those he says are "released" first. So, that's the subject of this thread ...

Has anyone grown the following varieties and does anyone have any information about current availability of seeds or plants? Specifically for the following:

Greenwich
Brown Derby
Schimmeig Stoo
Greensleeves
Brandystripe
Brown Stripe
Troo Glass
Banana Cream

Also, if you have grown them, please give a little information about taste, growth habit, yield, disease and heat tolerance.
