Purple
'Black Krim' is a mahogany-colored variety with a true
tomato taste. A very heavy producer that's prone to
cracking. Second choice is 'Black Prince'.
Orange
'Mennonite Orange' is a large, bountiful tomato and
truly one of the best-tasting orange varieties. Close
second is 'Kellogg's Breakfast'.
Red
'Sioux' is a productive heirloom with smaller rich deep-red
colored fruits that have a full-bodied taste. Others
include 'Rose de Berne' and 'Costoluto Genovese'.
Green
'Green Zebra' is a smaller-sized milder-tasting variety,
but it's a heavy producer that shows pink and yellow
on its shoulders when ripe. Others include 'Aunt Ruby's
German Green' and 'Green Grape'.
Pink
A tie between the 'Caspian Pink', with its mild sweet
flavor and flat fruit, and the 'Pink German
Tree Tomato', which has a mild but sweet low-acid taste
and treelike stems.

The striped variety, 'Tigerella', is a real beauty
in the garden.

'Sioux' tomatoes have a full-bodied taste. |
