Breast of Venus Tomato (Téton de Vénus)

Indeterminate. Bicolored tomato with large and very sweet marbled fruits. The pink, ferm flesh has very little acidity and has won a number of taste contests in the United States. Yellow fruits blush with red orange colors as they ripen. This heirloom tomato first appeared in New York in 1921 under the name Ruby Gold. It was renamed Gold Medal in 1976 by American seed collector Ben Quisenberry. Daughter not included.   Package: 30 seeds

Indeterminate. 80 to 110 grams yellow and green fruits overlaid with dark green stripes. Sweet and juicy emerald green flesh, with slightly tart flavor. Beautiful and delicious in salads or stuffed with vegetables and cheese. Will keep its shape when cooked.   Package: 35 seeds

Dark as the streets of Montreal deep into the night. Early, just as the arrival of winter over Quebec. Easy, to be grown in the field as well as in a pot on a Plateau balcony. Born in our field from a cross between 2 varieties, Black Crime and Teton de Venus, this tomato kept the dark colour of the former and the shape and density of the latter. It however yields much earlier than its parents, and produces much more. The variety is quite stable, but might still display some irregular shapes. We are keeping up our breeding work with the hope of creating a perfect tomato. The fruits are slightly smaller than a tennis ball. Our team carried a taste test and found a ...steak flavour! The foliage is regular, and the plant is not prone to diseases. Package: 35 seeds. Germination rate: 100%

In 1995, a carpenter found a bag of about 200 seeds in the attic of an abandoned house, where no one had lived for several years already, in Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce. The neighbors claimed that this house hadn't had any garden in well over 60 years. Mrs. Gérard Parent, to whom they were given, tried to get them to grow; only three germinated. From those three initial plants originate all the current Mémé de Beauce plants found in Quebec.   Package: 30 seeds

Italian red tomato (8 to 10 cm). Contains very few seeds and water. Excellent for sauce, homemade tomato paste, coulis and any processing. A fairly productive variety that is resistant to diseases.   Envelope: 30 seeds  

This dark pink tomato comes from the Lower Saint-Lawrence, more specifically from Rivière-du-Loup. The seeds come from Mrs. Francine Mailloux. She gifted some to René Paquet, who gave them to Michel Richard (Potager d'Antan), who then handed them to me. It is now our turn to share them with you! René describes this tomato as hefty and says that the indeterminate plant will have high yields of pink-fleshed red-skinned fruits. They will usually weight between 400 and 850 grams, but could be even heavier in some cases.
