Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - Question about numbered (but not named) varieties in SS Yearbook

**carolyn137** · February 22, 2009

The same question was asked, I think in the SSE YEarbook thread.

The member is IA SSE HF( Heritage Farm), which you'll find the address for at the front of the book under the Iowa listings as in Decorah, IA and the IPK is short for the German Seed Bank name ( in German) in Gatersleben, Germany and in that other thread I gave a link to that just to show where it is.

IPK's have always been listed just by number, yes, they are stable and when you see "pole" as the plant habit that means an indet as we discussed in that other thread and of course you get the country of origin.

You'll see that a few of them have been relisted, with the same IPK number for these are not varieties to be named by indivciduals who grow them.

Hope that helps.
