There can be a difference in the seed genetics with the same name plant. The way the Heirlooms were developed over sometimes a century or more was you would save seeds of a plant you liked and planted the seeds next year. You would sometimes get slightly different attributes in the offspring. Kinda like my children think they are perfect and I'm not so smart :-) You slowly develop a strain of a plant with attributes that you like. Now with heirlooms the desired traits were taste first then productivity and at the end is shelf life. Modern agriculture does it in reverse. Shipping qualities and shelf life are the most important and taste is way behind. That's why I grow heirlooms and not the hybrids like Better Boy. Sorry for the long discourse. Now don't get me started on the organic thingy since I'm a "practical" devotee....
