Paste Tomatoes
Oxheart type Tomatoes

 Amish Paste. 74 days. Indeterminate.  This is a great tomato, producing up to 12oz size heavy, paste type tomatoes.  Most are medium to large size, with an oblong heart shape.  It is just a nice, big fat Italian type tomato that grows on a really big, sprawling plant.  Be sure to stake it or cage it. The best thing about it is that it produces even in really bad tomato weather. This one never lets me down. I plant one or two every year.  Flavor is pretty good for a past type, so it makes rich flavored sauces.  Amish heirloom from the turn of the century.

Cuore di Bue:(aka Bullheart) Italian name means Heart of the Bull. This is an excellent fine textured tomato that makes exquisite flavored sauce.  

Grandpa Henry's : One of the long sausage style tomatoes.  These get about 5 inches long, bright red, meaty with good taste.  This is a replacement for the Opalka variety, performing better all around.  It is a Carroll County, Maryland local heirloom. 

Hungarian Pink Oxheart: more productive than many oxhearts. Very nice size with sweet flavor and few seeds. Expect a good harvest of these beauties. A Danas favorite. Good for eating fresh. Excellent in sauces. 

Red Oxheart: We finally have a good jumbo size Red heart shaped tomato. Good rich flavor with few seeds.  This one bears a good number of fruit. An excellent paste tomato for sauce.All the Oxheart make great size slices for Tomato sandwiches.

Pony Express:Determinate.  A hybrid canning and sauce variety. It is the fastest growing of the paste varieties. Uniform in size, 3 inches long.  Much desired if you are canning and making sauce. 

San Marzano. A good red open pollinated variety of roma type tomato.
