German

3-6" very meaty, blocky paste tomato on 4' vines; excellent rich-sweet flavor; a real winner.

CV Johnny's 1996

Also known as German Bush.

German Angora

One of my most novel outcrossed types; this variety has typical 'Angora'-type densely white-pubescent leaves, but came from fruit of German paste; fruits ovate, fuzzy, 2½" long with good flavor; although this should be stabilized, be sure to rogue out any non-pubescent seedlings.

German Red Strawberry
