determinate — An improved version of the '
Pearson' tomato adapted for semi-arid regions. The fruits are red, flattened-globe shaped, beautifully smooth skinned, average about seven ounces and have a good taste. A good tomato for home garden and fresh market sales.

Dr. Oscar (O. H.) Pearson while he was the head of the breeding program at the
Ferry-Morse Seed Company. It was released in 1942.
