Pruden's Purple vs Aunt Ginnie's Purple
Okay, I won't name the supplier, but I put in an order for Aunt Ginnie's Purple seeds and got Pruden's Purple instead.
I grew PP last year, but not in the most ideal conditions (i.e. they may not have hit their potential). It's been close to ten years since I grew AGP.
So on the off-chance that I was sent the wrong label on the seed packet, and given that they are both PL, how would I spot the differences?

There is no such thing as too many tomatoes, and anyone who tells you otherwise should be shunned --you don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I love the taste of Pruden's Purple, but found Aunt Ginnie's (gasp) too sweet!

I'm just guessing based on having grown Pruden's Purple and seen pictures of AGP, but I think AGP is more ribbed, with a lower core (more squat in the middle).

Prudence Purple (the name I use from what I've heard is the original SSE listing) will be DARK pink (possibly the darkest pink tomato I've ever grown, and the most beautiful color I've ever seen in a tomato). Many tomatoes may be boat-shaped. Also, if the plant grows "normal", it will be several days earlier than Aunt Ginny's Purple. AGP is my all-time favorite tomato, Prudence Purple is about number 5, out of 1,500+ trialed.
