Default Heirloom tomatoes

"Solar Set VFF Hybrid #3567 (30 seeds) $2.95
A heat-tolerant variety developed by the University of Florida. Sets fruit
well even in high temperatures (92 degree day; 72 degree night) and high
humidity. Because there is such good set, plants yield very large amounts of
fruit. Bright red tomatoes are 8 to 9 ozs. with a delicious, full tomato
flavor. Great for a fall crop in areas where weather permits. Determinate.
70 days."

David,

My experience with solar set is that it doesn't taste very good - wet
cardboard - nor is it terribly prolific during the worst of the heat
despite the claims - maybe a good thing considering its flavor G!

YMMV and maybe they've improved the hybrid; good luck and let us know.
