But when I went to read your link the whole page was BLUE and I went to message 19 anyway,read it and saw not ONE reference to Prue at all. Lots from Mark Korney about other varieties though,

Normally from a link I just click back to the original post and that works fine, but this time no matter what I did I couldn't get back/

So I had to close out Tville, start it again,and there was the original PINK background.

I have no explanation at all as to what happened.

Why don't you try your own link and see how it goes.

Hi Carolyn,

The link works for me. I have no idea why it is blue . Scroll down to #19 and then it is alphabetical. Prue was there for me .

Cheers,

I can see it, it is acutally in the quotation portion of post 19 as well as a post on page one. Here is the original post the others are quoting. Maybe if you are having trouble with one page another will work.

It is post #13 on this link:

Tried it again,still blue but was able to cut and past Prue

(80-85 DAYS--INDET. Wispy almost floppy leaved plant. The tomato of Mr. Henry Prue, an old timer born at the turn of the century who started gardening back in the 20’s-30’s. Somewhere between plum and heart shaped, very meaty, can vary in size from 3” wide at the top and 4” long with a nipple, to being 4” wide and 5” long. About 5-12oz though some bigger, occasionally hitting a pound or more. Prue starts turning a pinkish/red in a variegated pattern and parts are green while other parts are getting red--at first uneven ripening at early stages, though it ends up solid red. Sometimes thought to resemble a “Charley Brown Christmas tree" with scrawny sparse leaves that often look twisted or flopping over! It's taste is very good, quite different from many other reds, a somewhat earthy taste, not all that sweet, the essence of what tomatoey would be, all sorts of tastes linger on the tongue after you've taken a mouthful.)

OK,that's Mark Korney's report,I've known Mark for many decades. He used to drive Chuck Wyatt at his seed site absolutely crazy, so Chuck turned Mark over to me,without asking, so then I had to deal with him.

Mark still lives near Buffalo,NY, still breeds tomatoes , lives not that far from Remy and has shown up here at Tville recently.

All to say I do NOT share his opinion about uneven ripening and to be honest, never will ,especially since my seeds were directly from Tom Gallucci and perhaps Mark's seeds were from Chuck initially since Chuck listed many hundreds of varieties and as his health declined he was sending out many wrong varieties.

Chuck passed away in June of 2002, he was retired, an Air Force fighter Pilot in Vietnam. His wife Joyce asked me if I would take over his site,I thanked her but had to said no.so she asked a local woman who had been packing seeds for him to take over,she did,but had never grown a tomato ever,Joyce asked if I would help her, time-wise I couldn't, and that was that.

Being curious I just Googled Chuck's site
