ORANGE BEEFSTAKE - (never seen it ofered before)
This varriety came to me a coupple of years ago when I ordered red
beefstake from a mail order
catalouge (who will remaine nameless for their sake) I grew the
plants in the greenhouse and sold
the plants to my customers. Later that year and all the next year I
recived complaints about the
tomatoes not riping and staying an orange color (some pepole even
left the tomatoes out untill
they rotted exspecting them to riped) so I called the company but
they did not help much, so I
planted the tomatoe my self the next year (let over seed) and sure
enoughf bright orange! (not
the pale orange you usally see I'm talking floresent!) So now I sell
it as a novilty tomato under
the beefstake name unsure of what I really got. (looks great sliced

like a regular beefstake. 75 days (limited)

varrieties I grew in the
garden this year this is the one the animals liked best!It seamed
they where eating them faster
then I could pick them and left the other tomatoes with only a bite
or two. So if the racoons and
squirles like them they can't taste to bad. 80 + days (limited)

leavf patern, will grow in a
