From the 2024 Victory Seed Catalog:
"75 days, indeterminate — The potato leaf plants are sturdy, early, and produce fruits that are smooth, tasty, weigh in the two to eight ounce range, and are red in color.
Throughout the twentieth century, several old seed companies sold tomato varieties by this name. We believe that what we are offering is the original variety, also known as 'Wayahead' or 'Potato-leaved Earliana', that was introduced and by S. M. Isbell & Company of Jackson, Michigan. This is not the variety commonly available by Jung Seed or many other modern seed companies."

Seeds obtained from Victory in 2024.

The plants were very impressive in 2022; however, a little later to set fruit than I expected and seemed very prone to cracking. If I grow these again I will pick early and let them ripen indoors.

"The high amount of anthocyanin creates quite a vibrant indigo on 2" round fruits. The purple coloring occurs on the portion of the fruit that is exposed to light, while the shaded portion starts out green and turns deep red when mature. Inside, the flesh reveals the same red tone with a superbly balanced, multi-faceted tomato flavor. Allow fruits to mature completely for best flavor."

2023: Totally Tomatoes
Despite the name, this was the only variety (so far) that I have ever had a problem with blossom end rot in, since growing my tomatoes in an unheated high tunnel. Even slightly later, when there was no sign of rot on the exterior of the tomatoes, there were spots of rot in the seed cavity when they were cut open. Very disappointing because the tomatoes are otherwise beautiful, flavorful and juicy.

This is typical of the tomatoes that I harvested from Jamestown i

2022: TT
These became infected with some sort of disease early in the season of 2022 (grown in my smaller hoop house) but were still very productive of nice-size plum tomatoes; may give this variety another chance in a different location.

Burpee 2021
2022: Growing from a volunteer seedling in the HH; it was surprisingly productive, even with the late start - and one of our favorites in terms of flavor.
Best flavor when it is light pink, even when it has hints of green.
2023: Growing again from my own saved seeds, very productive and quite tall for a determinate variety. The tomatoes have excellent flavor!

Grew well for me in 2022 but didn't like them as well as some other varieties of paste tomatoes; might give them another try in a year or two.
