Valiant, Victoria, Moira, Red Bird, Three Sisters, Condine Red, Alpatieva 905A, Early Annie, Basket Vee, Mama Leone, Kootenai, Red Beauty, Redskin, Twilly Red King, and Sixth Ave....
A few will only make the 4 oz. limit...Early Annie and Kootenai in particular, but Early Annie makes up for it in quantity... Jeanne |

For a sweet flavorful red of that size with few seeds - Amish Paste, Shannon's, Prue, Box Car Willie, Mule Team, and Rasp Red are a few other choices.

Cabot is a red that I thought was sweet, but I can't remeber about the seeds. Seemed like they were no more or less abundant than other varieties.

Momotaro Hybrid came to mind....it's more pink or pinkish-red.
