The Wild Thymes, Elgins and Horton's Purple

JosephineRose · February 23, 2018

In trying to track down a source for Wild Thyme Pink seeds, I have stumbled across an expanded line of GWR, Pinks and Purples, along with a sister line, the Elgins.

I also found something called Horton's Purple, which I am starting to gather may be related to or an early version of Wild Thyme Purple.

Do any of you tomato historians know the backgrounds of these varieties? Or where seeds can be procured?

Right now I am eying Wild Thyme Purple and Horton's Purple at Marianna's and thinking of buying... but I have a suspicion they may be different versions of the same tomato.

Thanks very much.
