" indeterminate, vigorous, potato-leaf plants that yield copious amounts of 2", 4 oz, fruits that are deep-red color, inside and out. Five to nine fruits per cluster with a rich heirloom tomato flavor. Plant produces well until frost. A good tomato variety for cooler growing regions since fruits ripen quickly." Potato-leaf type
2023: I continue to try to like this variety, but despite the fact that the tomatoes are delicious, and early, it just is not very productive for me.

"vigorous, indeterminate, regular-leaf tomato plants that yield
exceptionally large crops of mahogany (brick-red) brown colored, 1-inch, round, open-pollinated cherry tomatoes. The Brown Berry cherry tomato has excellent semi-sweet , rich flavors with just a slight bit of acid finish over it's fruity sweetness. Very Juicy!"

" Meaty bright red fruits are nearly as firm as Roma types and are quite crack resistant. Vigorous plants set loads of fruits in long trusses for a long season that begins early, and due to a very high level of disease resistance, continues right up until frost. "

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
