royal beauty or something else?
in a recent tomatoville post on icicle tomatoes there was a reference made to a russian web site.
http://www.popenko2007.narod.ru/ I looked up that web site ( had it translated into english) and took a look at their tomato list. From that list they had a tomato called 158. Royal Beauty (United States) Fruit ploskookrugl, yellow with pink hat from which depart and gradually blured pink stripes. That was one pretty tomato, so I did a google search and I cant find anything on that tomato name in the Unites States. Is there a name change for the Unites States? I love striped tomatoes and this one caught my eye. Does anyone know more about this tomato. I would like to grow it. |

I noticed that too, and the one below (159) that translates as King of Beauty. I wondered if they might be Beauty Queen and Beauty King from Wild Boar Farms, and the names just got mangled in the double translation. The pictures look similar.

MAF, I think you are right, there must have been something lost in the translation. Item 158 does look like beauty queen from Tatiana's database. Thanks

Glad that helps. It would still be nice if any Russian speakers can confirm the theory just to be sure.
