From Johnny's Selected Seeds' classical plant breeding program, we're pleased to offer 3 recently resurrected open-pollinated varieties to you. Introduced by tomato plant breeder Emily Rose Haga, each of these three tomato cultivars was selected because of its unique history, outstanding quality, and adaptability to short seasons or low-input environments. Here's a rundown of the valuable gems we've dusted off and polished up to offer you: 'San Marzano II' (organic, open-pollinated heirloom); 'Blue Beech' (organic, open-pollinated heirloom); and 'Wisconsin 55' (organic, open-pollinated heritage variety).
