00196 CLUSTER GOLIATH™. Most of the time when we introduce a new variety with 'GOLIATH' as part of the name, it is a big, heavy fruited tomato. Fruits of this one weigh only about 1/4 lb., but they set on the plants in huge goliath-like clusters almost like cherry tomatoes. So when you pick them, you don't just pick a ripe tomato, you pick a whole cluster of 6 to 10 ripe tomatoes at one time...just like the ones you pay an arm and a leg for in supermarkets. These fruits are the prettiest, reddest red you've ever seen, and they hold on the plants til you're ready for them. The fruits on the crown of the cluster ripen first and hold in perfect shape until the fruits out on the end of the cluster turn red. Top this indeterminate hybrid off with early maturity, and you've really got something. 65 days. (A) Pkt. (30 seeds) $2.65; 2 pkts. $4.50.
