meaty. Ripens to a beautiful deep

The popular belief that acid-tasting tomatoes 
have more vitamin C than flatter-tasting toma- 
Se toes is not necessarily borne out by actual test, 
say New York State Experimental Station scientists at Geneva. Actually, vitamin C is 
more closely related to climatic conditions, especially sunlight. 
PEARSON (Improved Strain) (75 Days) 
The most popular tomato variety grown in California. Medium size vines, 
bushy, self-topping and having dense foliage. Excellent yielder under hot 
temperatures of large deep globular fruits, very solid, meaty, ripening to a 
good red color suitable for canning. It has always been assumed by many 
that Pearson is too late in maturity for northern areas. This is not true. 
for we grow it very successfully, with most of the fruit getting ripe. It is 
likewise adapted to Florida and many other southern areas. Our northern 
grown Pearson seed tends to increase the hardiness and earliness of this 
variety.
