I have been gardening for 60 years and suddenly find some new terms popping up. Some seed companies are advertising their seeds as "Heritage" and "Created Heirloom". They are actually F-1 offspring of two heirloom tomatoes. I always thought that an F-1 IS a cross between two Heirlooms. Sounds like a way to increase their prices to me.
