![]() Credits on the back flap don't address anything other than what's on the back cover and for sure the one in the front is angora leaf, but if you look closer the clump of fruits above the leaves you'll see they aren't attached to anything and not all are even red, so I think i'ts a composite picture that was put together for visual effect. So all I can say is that the leaves are indeed angora, but the fruits don't relate to the leaves and the angora leaves could be any angora variety such as Fuzzy Bomb or Angora itself or the Angora Orange that Adam Gleckler was sending out as a freebie a few years ago. Do you see what I see? I don't see a photo of Velvet Red. ![]() Carolyn

Now we're on the same page. (Pun intended)

Fact is, I never saw the book until a published copy was sent to me so had no idea of what Workman themselves were going to add. Carolyn

If you put a straight edge/ruler on the bottom of some of the sentences in Carolyn's book you will see some of the letters are slightly higher.
Put these slightly higher letters together and it is part of a secret code. ![]() Worth |

I hope I am lucky enough to get a copy - just saw this! There doesn't seem to be a quantity limit (reflecting the 11 copies only) on the TGS website so its making me a bit nervous... :/

Finished reading my copy after 2 days, which for me is some kind of world record.
Good stuff, convinced me to add a few new varieties to my garden this year. Had already ordered my seeds, but went back and placed another small order! |

I love Carolyn's descriptions for each variety. She makes them all sound so wonderful. The problem is I only have room in my garden for about 8 plants; where am I going to put the other 92?

At 8 varieties a year and counting this year you only have 11 more years to go for a total of 12 years before you have tried 96 varieties. The 13th year you can plant the four new ones and 4 of your favorites from the previous years!!! Are there any other tomato growing neighbors who might also want to be part of the project?
