Post #1286972

Two Questions, please. First, what is the difference between "family heirloom" and "created heirlooms" ? Could it be as simple as "family" passing the seed down from the 1800s and "created" meaning crossed or hybridized back in the 1800s then passed down? Hope this doesn't sound too awfully ignorant. I was looking at the 'Brianna' (Lycopersicon lycopersicum) and noticed it listed as "created" and the Zogola as "family". My daughter's name is Brianna and I thought that would be a nice housewarming gift for her new/first home. Which brings me to question two. Anybody know where I can get 'Brianna' (Lycopersicon lycopersicum) seed other than at Donna's?
