Default Last Call! Rediscover the Jersey Tomato

Rutgers University has been selling several varieties of tomato seeds in its "Rediscover the New Jersey Tomato" program for a number of years now. The varieties are Rutgers 250, Ramapo F1, Moreton F1, KC-146 (a.k.a. Campbell's 146), and a newly-developed variety called Scarlet Sunrise Bicolor Grape. They are discontinuing direct seed sales as of the end of the year, so if you want to order from them, act fast. Most of these varieties are also available from other vendors, but the price from Rutgers is pretty good ($4 for a pack of 30 seeds), and the shipping fee is very low ($1.50 or $2.50).

If you're not already familiar with it, you can read about the program and the tomatoes here: https://breeding.rutgers.edu/tomatoes/#availability
The order form, which includes variety descriptions, is here: https://go.rutgers.edu/tomato

To order, you have to complete the form and mail it in; there is no online ordering.

I've grown Moreton but not any of the others. Does anyone have any experience with any of these varieties in recent years? Has anyone tried the grape tomato?
