Cecil, you do know that Bucks County Hybrid is Burpee's newest name for their version of Red Brandywine, yes?
I can't remember what name it was first called, but I grew it out, ordered plants and also grew RB from my own seeds and saw no difference at all.
I gave up on Burpee for anything, many years ago, and look at their catalog now, mostly pictures. They bought out Cook's Garden and that catalog now is nothing like it was when Shep Ogden and his wife ran it.
Burpee was once one of the premier companies back in the 40's to maybe 60's, but no more IMO.
