The Dutchman
Introduced by the legendary Merlin W. Gleckler of Glecklers Seedmen (who was one of the first rare seed dealers). Their 1958 catalog states, "Here is an extremely old, large fruited pink-skinned tomato. It is practically extinct as far as securing seed. In fact it is doubtful if seed has ever been sold by any seedsmen. Only by handing down by generations of one family has this tomato existed." The pink-red fruit are very large, up to 3 lbs. and more! Very sweet.

Millionaire
Among the rugged people of the Ozark mountains, rich flavor has made this variety famous for over 50 years and was used fresh and canned. They have a delectable sweet flavor and are beautiful coral-pink color. In the summer of 1950, Forrester Hutsell of Mountain Grove, MO, gave seed to Ed Henson of Champion, MO. He grew it locally for many years. In 1995, Carol Cleveland, of Norwood, MO sent Millionaire seeds to Neil Gillard of Ontario, Canada and he has been preserving it since. He sent us some seed two years ago for trials. After many years and many miles, we can at last offer the seed again in southern Missouri, just 20 miles from Mountain Grove! We have had requests for this variety from Ozarkians that can remember this variety from the 1950's.

Missouri Pink Love Apple
Big, pink fruit are very rich-tasting, certainly a favorite pink tomato. This potato-leaved variety has a long history in the "Show Me" state. It was grown since the Civil war by the Barnes family, who grew it as an ornamental, believing (as many people did at the time) that tomatoes or "love apples" were poisonous. We are grateful the Barnes family kept this variety going so we can enjoy the wonderful fruit today.
