Member # 1345 posted                       The catalogs 'jersey flavor'may mean about a famous grower/hybridizer of tomatoes. I know his name,but it eludes my mind today.I know he died at the age of 95 and passed down his growings through his family.had a brother who hybridized also.His favorite creation was the brandywine pink. * * * * I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want! http://community.webshots.com/user/njoynit03 http://community.webshots.com/user/njoynit http://photos.yahoo.com/njoynit03 Plants: 2209 | From: SE TX`in the yard somewhere most likely | Registered: Jul 2003  |  Seeded: 4.253.27.23 johnCT Garden Pro! Member # 6667 posted                       Njoynit, the origin of Brandywine is not known. There have been many stories about where certain strains and crosses have come from but ultimately noone knows where the true brandywine came from. The whole Jersey Flavor thing has something to do with the variety "Rutgers" that was developed at Rutgers Univ. in New Jersey for the Campbell Soup Co years ago. That's what they made their famous tomato soup with. I think thats how the story goes. Don't quote me. * * * * John - Zone 6 Plants: 1068 | From: Connecticut | Registered: Aug 2005  |  Seeded: 209.178.236.58 njoynit Garden Pro! Member # 1345 posted                       This is what I dug up. From what mr.Tom had said.He himself had been growing the same strain 63 years.His father& grandfather before him had grew these same seeds.I rember he had yellow rags on stakes.those were ones he took seeds from. I believe rutger was the name mentioned about jersey taste.Wish my mind was filed better.alot gets lost in 4 years. * * * * I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want! http://community.webshots.com/user/njoynit03 http://community.webshots.com/user/njoynit http://photos.yahoo.com/njoynit03 Plants: 2209 | From: SE TX`in the yard somewhere most likely | Registered: Jul 2003  |  Seeded: 4.253.64.2 weezie13 Compost Queen!

Member # 6055 posted                       Wow Njoynit & John...where did you read/find this history on tomatoes? I do know the story about Mortgage Lifters and how they got their name, I read about that in a seed catalog years ago. * * * * Plants: 2524 | From: Arkansas | Registered: Jul 2005  |  Seeded: 209.142.143.107 Davis Gardener Member # 8284 posted                       Hey, I've got the pic, but how do I upload it.

Member # 772 posted                       Hey Davis.... You've got some kind of LEAF MINOR, **I personally never had a leaf minor on a tomato, had them on my columbine** but they are basically harmless to your tomato production, that I know of... You can pull/pinch the effected leaves..... * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.

Member # 6667 posted                       Whoa, not exactly a family friendly link there Davis, LOL. Weezie is right on though. Looks like leaf miners. Comfrey, there are many sites that give a history of varieties. I think I posted a link somewhere here about the Brandywine history. * * * * John - Zone 6 Plants: 1068 | From: Connecticut | Registered: Aug 2005  |  Seeded: 209.178.236.58 weezie13 Compost Queen!

Yes they are leaf miner's. Thank you. I even referred the photo to a forum on the local agricultural university website and they confirmed that it was leaf miner. They even gave me the names of the pesticides to be used. If anybody wants it I can post it here. Plants: 4 | From: India | Registered: Mar 2006  |  Seeded: 203.101.41.161
