History
- Italian origin. (?)
- Click here to view a page from 1951 Burpee Seed Catalog at Vent Marin website. Here is the description from the catalog:
- "PEARSON - Popular in California
- 86 days. Deep red, medium large, smooth, slightly [...?] globe fruit; vigorous, heavy yielding, self-topping plants. Especially adapted to California and the South. Primarily for canning, ..., good for home garden."
- Click here to view a page from 1958 Gleckler Catalog at Craig LeHoullier's website. The description from the catalog says:
- "One of the most popular tomato varieties 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 fruits getting ripe. It is like-wise adapted to Florida and many other southern areas. Our northern grown Pearson seed tends to increase the hardiness and earliness of this variety."
