I found tomato seeds stuck to the pages of a Nancy Drew book published in 1943. I have a collection of Nancy Drew books #1-56, some of which are the original publications, and most were purchased used. Well, in the holidays of 2018, I found these dried tomato seeds stuck to one of the pages in one of the older books and wondered what kind of tomato these might grow and if I would be able to germinate them. Of course, there is no knowing how old the seeds were\u2026a more recent reader or owner of the book might have left them. I love the idea of a young teen girl, eating a tomato salad, being so enthralled by the derring-do of Nancy the girl detective, that seeds were dripped onto the page without realizing it.<br \/>\nI was able to germinate seeds for spring 2019. I grew several plants, all of which produced 2 ounce meaty and juicy red cocktail fruits with an excellent sweet and tangy flavor. I was very excited about the flavor, because if it were a \u201cspitter,\u201d I would have to abandon my little project. From my saved seeds of 2019, I grew more plants in spring 2020, and the fruits were identical to each other and to the previous year. Therefore, I believe that this, although it may have originally come from a grocery store variety, is a stable variety. I wanted to name it \u201cNancy Drew\u201d; however, I believe that would be a copyright violation of the character name and book series. Therefore, everyone\u2026please meet Nancy D. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10369,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[8,38,12],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-10368","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-red-tomatoes","product_cat-round","product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","first","instock","sale","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/10368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=10368"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=10368"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=10368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
