You can see that Tania lists maybe 7 different Rutgers and my SSE annual Yearbooks list about the same,.

I haven't checked seed sites for you to see what they are offering, but I happen to have the 2012 Tomato Growers Supply catalog near me, the 2013 is out in the other room and Linda lists Rutgers VF as determinate and I assume the 2013 website and catalog would list the same,

And yes I trus tLinda Sapp at TGS whom I've known since about 1990.

You can Google it b;c I;m too lazy on this Xmas day to go fetch the link for you. (smile)

Hope that helps,

Fedco seeds carries Rutgers and gives some info you might be interested in. I'm working on a Fedco order and just read the info on Rutgers. Hth.

4055TO Rutgers Tomato OG (75 days) Open-pollinated. Ind. Two varieties are called Rutgers. We sell the original strain of this famous New Jersey tomato, developed by CampbellâÂÂs Soup Co. in 1928 as a cross between Marglobe and JTD. When Rutgers University âÂÂrefinedâ the variety in 1943, they took out some of the vininess but also some of the flavor. Our taste tests confirm that the original indeterminate strain is better. Long considered an outstanding slicing, cooking and canning tomato, the medium-sized 4��"6 oz mostly uniform and unblemished deep oblate fruits with rich red interior and pleasing texture have that great old-time flavor, delicious and juicy. Resistant to F1, V1, ASC and GLS. OT-certified.
Item Quantity
A=0.2g for $1.30
B=0.4g for $2.20
C=1g for $3.60
D=2g for $5.60
E=10g for $20.00

My info was that Rutgers was reintroduced in 1933, but maybe my brain and my fingers weren't working together, so it could have been 1943.

If you want the original indeterminate Rutgers, then Fedco looks like your best bet.

Almost all other Rutgers listed at most seed sites now are determinate.
