Catherine is right about Schimmeig Stoo being the stuff of which cover shots
are made. I have a couple of shots that have been in magazines and would be
glad to send a jpeg attached to email if you are interested in seeing a
drop-dead gorgeous tomato. And, Tom, the saved seeds from my Stoos are
producing fruit double the size here in Illinois this summer than in
previous seasons in Texas. They are averaging about 10 ounces.
