Sorry I missed your question. They are Territorial Seeds TM870/S Supernatural® Tomato - Supernatural Tomato Seeds $11.95

Sadly, in the press of other work, I stupidly kept putting off doing the grafting. I'm still going to do it, but mostly to see if I can get the graft to work. My 2 previous tries (2015 and 2016) failed. And if they do work, I have a spot for 3 more tomatoes.

The rootstock packet had 20 seeds and I planted 10, so I can also try it again next year when the seedlings are smaller.

I'm not really suited to something as delicate as home-grafting (I have hand tremors due to DDT exposure as a teenager). And the only commercially-grafted tomatoes I find come in single-variety packs of a dozen or so each which are far more than I can use.

Did you try again?
Has anybody done any actual grafting at home?
I am trying now and have posted on the thread "observations of a grafted tomato" a few early on pics.
The comparison on the first page here is interesting but not sure if its not apples and oranges as only true test is to start scion and non-grafted side by side and follow thru. (Carolyn gave me idea thru her posts).
I see the grafted to be at a big disadvantage as they have to first survive the graft and then must be planted with the graft above the soil (I plan to plant the non-grafted normally-in a trench).....if I can get some grafts to take I hope to see what happens.
