Other varieties in the mix include Dr. Wyche's Yellow, Missouri Pink Love Apple, Japanese Trifele, Copia, Anna Russian, Red Zebra and Black
Seasons/Availability

Current Facts
An heirloom variety mix with many heirloom tales to match. The Anna Russian tomato seed was sent to a Russian immigrant many many years ago from a gardener in Russia. Today this pink, high-yielding, heart-shaped fruit makes Russian tomatoes famous. Dr. Wyche's Yellow heirloom is named after the doctor himself, who was once owner of the Cole Brothers Circus. He is said to have used his circus elephants' manure to fertilize his gardens. His tomatoes have a smooth texture, bright tangerine color and sweet almost tropical taste.
Geography/History
These heirloom tomatoes come from far and wide, origins ranging from Oregon, Ohio, West Virginia, Missouri, Germany and Russia.
