Edith and Annie:

The bush ones are called determinate.  These are the ones that grow 
in a bush, are short, set all of their fruit at once, and that's it, and 
should fit in a tomato cage.  These are recommended for canning 
since you have your whole crop at once, supposedly.

The vine ones are called indeterminate.  These grow for a very long 
time, are long, set fruit continuously, and will definately not fit in a 
tomato cage, and have more varieties from which to choose.
