Purple Bumble Bee - 1 ½ inch round fruit are dark purple to almost black and streaked with mottled patterns of green. This is a great tomato for fresh salads and appetizers, where the appearance and texture of the fruit can really shine. This crack-resistant variety can be grown either outdoors or in the greenhouse.
Red Pear - Miniature pear-shaped tomatoes are 1-3/4 to 2 inches long and bright red. Flavorful and sweet, they are great for salads.
Rosalita - Perhaps the only pink grape tomato that is really the size and shape of a red grape tomato. Long clusters of small, oval fruit are deep rosy pink and abundantly produced on tall, vigorous plants. These tomatoes are as sweet as rosé wine, and a delightful new choice for anyone who likes grape tomatoes.
Snowberry - Rounded, 1-1/2 to 2 oz., firm fruits feature are a creamy yellow color outside with a white inside. Sturdy plants produce tomatoes that are sweet and fruity.
Snow White - Delightful ivory-colored cherry tomatoes ripen to pale yellow and are deliciously sweet without being sugary. This is one you’ll find yourself snacking on in the garden because it tastes so good.
Sprite - If you love grape tomatoes, but don't have the space for supports to grow tall plants, Sprite offers a wonderful alternative. There is no sacrifice in fruit quality, size, productivity, or flavor—just shorter plants for smaller gardens. The small red oval grape tomatoes are borne in amazingly large numbers on more compact, determinate plants. Their taste is refreshingly sweet and skins are thin and crisp, just like the original Grape tomatoes. Determinate.
Sungold - A positively luscious, bite-size, golden beauty overflowing with an abundance of fruits - thin-skinned, with a juicy flesh that holds its oh-so-sweet, fresh-from-the-vine flavor. Very early, and a heavy cropper both outdoors and in greenhouses. Cascading trusses are smothered in fruits that remain ripe and ready for picking over long periods of time.
Sunsugar - This golden-yellow beauty achieves a new level of sugary-sweetness and flavor, superb texture, and a tangy "true tomato" taste. Fruits are a lovely golden-yellow, weigh 1/2 oz., and possess thin skins AND crack resistance, even in heavy rains. Heavy early cropper. Very vigorous.
Super Sweet 100s - Staked hybrid plants produce long strands of 100 or more super-sweet cherry tomatoes, weighing about 1 oz. each and measuring 1" in diameter. Extra-high in Vitamin C. Plants bear fruits throughout the season. Requires staking or caging.
Sweet Aperitif - Bright red fruits have exceptional flavor and very high levels of sugar (even sweeter than Sungold and SunSugar!) that are perfectly balanced with just the right amount of acid to give this tomato a deliciously refreshing, tangy flavor. Plants have a multi-branching habit and are completely covered with bite sized 1/2 oz. fruits.
Sweet Pea Currant - Hundreds of fruits per plant. Excellent tomato flavor with a hint of wine. Fruits are borne in trusses of 10-12 on plants with a spreading habit. Great for use as a garnish.
