I got Huang se Chieh from Tormato's swap. I think the name means 'yellow half moon' in Chinese, but the fruit looks white to me. They're not big tomatoes, but I found the flavor to be sweeter and a little stronger than Great White.

Varieties with my name on them as you mentioned above? Just two.

Dr. Carolyn, named by Steve Draper, but found by me, can check Tania's page for it as to how I found it.

Dr. Carolyn Pink, named by Robert Martin who found it in a pack of Dr. Carolyn seeds purchased from SESE and sent the seeds to me in 1999.

Carolyn, the person, not the tomato.
Well thanks for explaining Carolyn.

I will take the plunge and put Dr. C and Dr. C. Pink (tomatoes) on my wish list.

my best white is Pêche blanche (white peach) my husband and our guests also loved it.
It has the size of a small peach and produces very well

Oh, my!…. Just yesterday I had too little choices, now I have too many…. Looks like next year I have to dedicate one of my tomato garden bed s to whites just to try them all.
Thank you for your suggestions, I am noting them all down!

Interesting, it sounds like Lotos which I grew this year. Nice PL plant which loaded up with medium sized white tomatoes about the size of peaches - I thought the taste was like an ordinary, decent red tomato, but my other grower said they had a hint of peach taste (fruit were larger in her conditions as well).

Pêche blanche is RL and fruits are fluffy like peaches, taste is nice and sweet and yes, if they are warm from the sun it tastes a little bit like peach

Duggin white did well for me ,as well as Great White with about 15 fruits. I honestly think the whites have wonderful flavour. One thing I did notice was the thin skins,if you just touch them with a fingernail the skin tears.
