Long-Keeper, 78 days, semi-determinate, 4-7 oz., storage New!

Unblemished tomatoes are harvested before frost and allowed to ripen at room temperature. Fruits are mature for harvest when they have a pale, pink blush. Store at room temperature so fruits are not touching and check for ripeness and rotting weekly. Fruits become ripe 1½ to 3 months after harvest, ensuring a supply of fresh tomatoes into the winter. Fruits ripen in storage to a satiny, red-orange color. Flesh ripens to medium-red. Best planted in late spring or early summer for fall harvest.

Lutescent, 80 days, indeterminate, medium, slicer

A most unique novelty--this tomato has pale yellowish plants, and the unripe fruit are also yellow! Flowers are creamy-white instead of yellow. The fruit ripens from yellow to orange to red; flavor and yields are good, making this tomato perfect for the home gardener who wants something unusual. This may be the same tomato A. W. Livingston Seed Co. introduced in 1898 under the name "Honor Bright." Rare!
