I found three varieties of rootstock on page 28. From their site:
http://www.tomatogrowers.com/searchprods.asp
SUPER STRONG TOMATO ROOTSTOCK Super Strong Tomato Rootstock #2911 (20 seeds) This vigorous rootstock is resistant to a multitude of soil-borne diseases and nematodes. Use this rootstock to graft onto any heirloom or hybrid tomato plant and witness the greatly increased vigor and yields. The rootstock even boosts tolerance to fluctuating temperatures. This variety should only be used for rootstock because the small green fruit produced by rootstock are not good for consumption. Resistant to verticillium wilt, fusarium, nematodes, and tomato mosaic virus.
RST-04-106-T HYBRID ROOTSTOCK RST-04-106-T Hybrid Rootstock #2812 (20 seeds) This rootstock was developed for growers who face a wide variety of soil diseases. Along with strong resistance to bacterial wilt, this rootstock is also resistant to Tobacco Mosaic Virus, three races of Fusarium wilt, corky root rot, and nematodes.
ESTAMINO VFFFNT HYBRID Estamino VFFFNT Hybrid #4711 (20 seeds) This rootstock is known for producing plants with good generative growth, meaning a better balance of flowers and fruit to leafy growth, resulting in heavier yields of tomatoes. It is also known to promote a longer production cycle, extending the season. Resistant to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus. This is a well-proven rootstock variety favored by an increasing number of growers.
Other than what's copied/pasted above - that's all I know about them.
