Good canning tomato??

 I am really late getting my garden in this year and finally have the
ground prepared.  Whatever tomatoes I planted last year just didn't do
well for canning purposes.  I'm not starting from seeds and get my
plants at Lowe's or Home Depot.  Any suggestion on a good variety to
can (that I would find at either of those two stores)?  My garden is
*very* small so I can't put in too many plants.

If your canning for sauce Roma's are the best and the grow in a fairly
compact plant.

Sorry.  I should have been more specific.  No, I grow for stewed
tomatoes - tomatoes with onion, celery and bell peppers.

Then any tomato that is usually called slicing tomato.  They are
lighter in color and tend to be bigger than a Roma.

Any tomato will work then.  Maybe plant a couple Better Boy and one
something-else (Roma?)  Better Boy is a hybrid all-purpose tomato.  It
has good flavor and usually yields very high.
