PERON (Sprayless Tomato) (68 Days) 
A miraculous variety developed by Prof. Abelardo Piovano, vegetable spec- 
ialist and agronomist at the National University of Argentina. Medium size, 
bushy vines are very resistant to fungus diseases common to tomatoes. 
Foliage is semi-dense. Maturity mid-season. A very heavy yielder of large 
size, slightly flattened globular fruits of the most extra-ordinary quality. 
Interior of fruits are very solid and meaty, without any core. Very small 
and numerous seed cells form an excellent structure in supporting the fruit 
for shipping. Ripens to a beautiful deep red color over the entire fruit 
without green or yellow shoulders. Its tough, velvety-smooth skin is very 
crack resistant and easily peeled without immersing in hot water, a rarity 
not found in other varieties. Flavor is mildly acid and of a most delicious 
taste. Fruits keep exceptionally long after ripening. The Peron tomato 
will produce a normal crop without any disease control in most areas, but 
where soil is very low in organic matter or areas subjected to severe out- 
breaks of diseases, only half of a regular spray schedule is necessary. The 
field of possibilities for the Peron tomato are unlimited, for it is perfectly 
adapted for green wrap, market and canning. Its mid-season maturity, 
about a week to 10 days earlier than Rutgers, adapts it to a wide area 
throughout the states.
