that doesn't mean they will return as that same type of
tomato if he plants those seeds.

if they were a hybrid tomato he could have quite a bit
of difference from what was grown the previous season.

if they were a heirloom tomato or some other variety
that was not a hybrid he'd have a better chance of
getting the same type of tomato back, but not a guarantee
since open pollenated plants can be fertilized from any
other pollen sources in that area.
