In this second report an attempt has been made to show in part the recent impact of Mendelian and multiple factors on the cultivated tomato. Outside of the mention made to the Spartan Red 8 variety, work with greenhouse types on the American continent has been excluded as it is the hope of the committee, with the help of L. J. Alexander, that in 1961 past greenhouse work will be brought up-to-date in graph form. There follows a list of many of the recent introductions as well as the genetic background of the parents used. Names of the authorities furnishing information follow the varietal names.

Australian Tomato types: Notes explainina why it has been found difficult to trace certain Australian tomato varieties. Graham, T. O., Horticulture Department, O.A.C., Guelph, Ontario.
It is known that the Targinnie Red variety came to the United States from Australia, but Dr. C. F. Andrus writes that it may have originated in New Zealand. One possible explanation as to why Australian types are hard to trace and to pin down in that the Yates Seeds Limited of Sydney, Malbourne, Brisbane, and Perth in Australia are associated with allied firms in Tasmania and New Zealand. In the catalogue of this firm in 1954 one can find a list of Chinese types known as Australian Large Red, Tatura Dwarf Globe, Rouge de Marmande, South Australia Early Dwarf Red, and Tatinter. The estalogue states that all Chinese types mentioned have the ability to set flowers and fruit under fairly cool conditions.
While in England, Duncan Hargrave, of the Provincial Horticultural Station, Brooks, Alberta, obtained information from Australia on these Chinese types. He considers that the ability of these to set fruit under cold conditions was segregated out undor growing conditions in China before these types were transferred to Australia. He obtained the Cloche Wonder variety from H. J. Speed & Sons Ltd., Evesham, Worchoster, England. The Cloche Wonder variety he found to be a selection made in England from Tatura Dwarf Globe. The seed of Tatura Dwarf Globe in this came to England from New Zealand (see Globe Trotter variety).
Baby Lea: Darby, L. A., Glasshouse Research Institute, Worthing Road, Little Hampton, Sussex, England. In a latter of April 14, 1959, L. A. Darby states that Baby Lea has been described as a sport out of the variety Potentate. He further states as follows: "I think this is most unlikely.....I am tooting this variety against some of the dwarf alleles including brachytic." Baby Lea has abort internodes and if it is found to be 'br' in type it is the first commercial greenhouse variety to carry the brachytic gene. Baby Lea was introduced in 1946.

Moscow: The following information was suppllied by Dr. Orson Cannon. In his letter of January 18, 1961 he states: "..... the following, which was related to me by the late Pat Winters, probably is correct. He said that a Japanese grower in Utah by the nme of Masuka selected an off-type plant in a field of Marglobe. Its offspring did so well in the area that the variety was adopted by many of the growers. Gradually the name was changed from Masuka to Moscow. Supporting this information is the fact that Moscow was grown commercially in Utah before it was grown elsewhere. When I came to Utah in 1948 the variety was being grown in about 75% of the acreage of the state, and many gravers had their own strains, each of which was reputed to be better than the strains belonging to others."
Mozark: Pedigree is listed in the following publication: Lambeth. Victor H. 1958. The Mozark tomato. Missouri A.E.S. Res. Bull. 680, 1-8. The MO Surprize F1 Hybrid is a cross between Mozark I sp u and Sioux u and it was introduced by Victor H. Lambeth in 1959 (20).
Nagcarlang Tomato type from the Philippines. Graham, T. O., Horticulture Department, O.A.C. Guelph, Ontario.
The description of the Nagcarlang tomato type which follows has been made up in part from information given by Dr. Eugenio E. Cruz, Director, Bureau of Plant Industry. Manila, Republic of the Philippines and from Dr. Howard Peto, Peto Seed Company, Saticoy, California. The Nagcarlang tomato is the onlytype which will set fruit in high humidity areas throughout the Philippines. For this reason, during the winter of 1948--49, Dr. Peto called at Manila to see if the Nagcarlang tomato type could be used in a breeding programs so that a canning tomato for the Philippines would result. He also took tomato varieties, over to Mindanao and the Southern Philippines,of which Kolea and Anahu have proven adaptable.
Under Ontario greenhouse condition the flowers of Nagearlang are open in type and the pistils are exposed. As a result one must place pollen on the pistils if pollination is to take place. In the tropics high insect activity possibly carries out cross polination.
The Nagcarlang type has come into Ontario in two shipments. The first seed obtained has been written up in Scientific Agriculture 32:57-66, 1952. As far as is known the only surviving member in breeding programmes of the first shipment made to Ontario in 1948 is the type known as Philippine #2. Dr. Eugenio E. Cruz forwarded Nagcarlang to Guelph in the second shipment made in 1959, this seed having been gathered at Laguna in the Philippines.
In the Philippines Nagcarlang is known to be a wild-type tomato. Its history is unknown. It is not a variety as no two plants are alike. It is simply a heterozygous form which has survived in the jungles of the Philippines and which has also been brought under cultivation and even sold commercially. Dr, Peto has verbally stated that in the Philippines the Nagcarlang type has survived-and become pollinated in areas with 100 inches of rainfall per season. He stated that it ia hard to believe that such wild-type fruit could be sold commercially. However, he saw Nagcarlang fruits being sold when he visited the open market in Manila. He noted that the flowers hang down, shed the vater, and do not experience as much blossom drop rainy weather aa is experienced by commercial types.
While no two Nagcarlang plants are the same there are points in common. For example, practically all Nagcarlang fruits are small, very rough. and with a purplish "muddy" fruit colour. The fruits are firm and under Ontario conditions flat and sweet in flavour. They mostly ripen late in the season. The plants are very robust, and dense with healthy foliage. While Dr. Peto attributes fruit set under humid conditions to the flowers, the fact that the pollen remains active may have a chemical basis as the plants and fruits of the Nagcarlang type have a distinct purplish colour.
In the Philipyines the Nagcarlang tomato is resistant to disease and to periodic drought. In Ontario it is tolerant to late blight. Under Ontario conditions it will set fruit at temperatures as low as 45 deg. F, which is 10 degrees below the point at which tomatoes normally set fruit. In other words, it is cold tolerant, It is interesting to note that in the tropics Nagcarlang is resistant to sterility caused by damp conditions and in Ontario, far removed from-the tropics, it is resistant to sterility caused by cool conditions.
In the tropics the point of interest in to see if, through a breeding programs, the bridge can be gapped between the wild Nagcarlang type and the commercial varieties found on the North American continent. This would allow the commercial canning of tomatoes to be carried out in certain tropical areas such as the Philippines, where high humidity makes this difficult at the present time.

Curly Top Resistant
Complex mode of inheritance of resistance to Curly Top is as yet not known.Pearson B (Pearson XL), Pearson VF6, and Pearson VF 11: See "Sources of Verticillium Wilt Resistance on Tomato Varieties."
Peru Wild: Lesley, J. W. University of California, Citrus Experimental Station, Riverside, California (8, 21). See also 'Sources of Verticillium Wilt Resistance on Tomato Varieties'.
Peru Wild was collected by the late O. F. Cook of the U.S.D.A. As far as is known it did not carry an S.P.I. number. It was obtained from Dr. Cook by J. W. Lesley and placed under California accession number 467 it was found susceptible to Curly Top (Hilgardia 6(2) 1930).
Several lines were later sent to Loran Blood of the U.S.D.A. at Logan, Utah, by J. W. Lesley, as it was considered that amongst these a line might be located with resistance to Verticillium Wilt. Within these lines Loran Blood located resistance in the Peru Wild type, and he placed this line under number as Utah 665.
Utah 665 is not the same as 52.68.13 from the Citrus Experimental Station, which is also resistant to Verticillium, and comes from a cross made by F. O. Holmes of L. esculentum x L. chilense (2). As far as is known no comercial varieties have had this last mentioned type as a parent (5).

San Marzano paste types: While in the Argentine, Dr. Abelardo Piovano, in his article Variedades Comerciales de Tomates, B.A.P. Resista Agricola, April 1932, states that the King Humbert paste tomato is an old variety and that it originated with Fratelli-Ingegnoli, Milano, Italy. He also states that the paste types San Marzano and Vittorio Emanele are superior to the King Hubert variety.
In publication 3, for the period 1951-53 of the Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, Argentine, Dr. Piovano and Luis O.
Melis state, on page 5, that San Marzano has broken into various lines, namely, Pero 20, Santa Catalina, Pera Amarilla, etc. In 1951 the Joseph Harris Company of New York State lists the paste type Italian Red Pear (Pomo d'oro a Pera). This could be another selection out of San Marzano.
The chances are that, in areas outside Italy, unless selection is kept up, these paste types tend to produce small-sized fruit and that many of the known selections catalouged in the past reflect periods at which San Marzano was rogued and brought back into line.
Recent breeding of paste types has led to the introduction of the tomato variety Fireball, and the paste types Roma, Red Top V9, and San Pablo. These four varieties as well as other types are traced in the two pedigrees which follow.
San Marzano is also being used in breeding programmes in South Carolina Florida, and Texas. In 1960 A. L. Harrison has reported in his article 'Breeding of Disease Resistance to Nematode', in Proceedings Plant Science Seminar - 1960, Campbell Soup Company, page 65 as follows:
'While the writer was in the Florida, some of this material now backcrossed to San Marzano, was obtained from C. D. Andrus of the Southeastern Vegetable Breeding Laboratory in Charleston, South Carolina. All of the Texas root knot resistant lines are descendants from this cross, (L. esculentum var. Michingan State Forcing x L. peruvanum) x San Marzano'.

Sources of Verticillium Wilt Resistance in Tomato Varieties: Orson S. Cannon,
Head, Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Utah State University.
Formerly Plant Pathologist, U.S.D.A. Agricultural Research Service, Logan,
Utah.The verticillium wilt resistant tomatoes of today go back to Utah No. 665 (Peru Wild) for their resistance, and they come from one of two sources: (1) H. L. Blood gave some of his breeding stocks to the late Pat Winters of California Packine Corporation who did breeding work in Utah and California. A number of the present day verticillium wilt resistant varieties have come from his stocks. (2) All of the other verticillium wilt resistant varieties either were developed at the Utah Station or have resulted from crosses in which Utah varieties served as the original source of resistance. These statements, of course, leave the varieties Riverside, Essar, and Simi out of consideration because they do not have the type of resistance reported by Schaible, Cannon and Waddoups (28).
Peru Wild (Utah 665) was part of a collection of tmato seed received by H. L. Blood from J. W. Lesley in 1932. According to Dr. Blood's records, Lesley had previously received this tomato from O. F. Cook. In 1948 Dr. Lesley did not have seed of Peru Wild on hand. Dr. Blood died in 1948 and he left several selections of No. 665. All of them were cherry type tomatoes and all of them were segregating for resistance to verticillium wilt. Viable seed of No. 665 is still in the Utah collection, which is now under the direction of Mark W. Martin.
The original work on the varieties Loran Blood, VR Moscov, Pearson VF6, Pearson VF11, Pearison B and Pearson XL was done at the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, as outlined below, while the author was employed by the Agricultural. Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture.
Loran Blood Ve = (Peru Wild x one or more other varieties) Stone In a memorandum dated January 14, 1952 seed of VR No. 4 was made available for testing and for increase of seed. VR No. 4 was released as Loran Blood in Decmber 1952 (7). Pat Winters of California Packing Corporation received some advanced breeding stocks from Dr. Blood. He crossed one of these with Stone. Winnters and the author selected a plant from an F2 population of this cross in 1948. The variety Loran Blood resulted from selections among its progeny.
VR Moscow Ve sp = W6 x Moscow^3. W6 = Peru Wild x Century VR No. 11 of the January 14, 1952 memorandum became VR Moscow upon release (7). The present stocks of VR Moscow are W6 x Moscow^5 (sometimes referred to as M82).
Pearson VF6 and Pearson VF11 Ve I sp = (59-1 x Southland) Pearson^7. 59-1 + ((Peru Wild x Century) Bonny Best) Moscow
All of the crossing work and testing for resistance was done at Logan, Utah by the author. The F2 of the last backcross was grown at Davis, California by G. C. Hanna, and selections in the F2 and F3 were made together by Hanna and the author. The varieties were released 1959 (6).
Pearson B and Pearson XL Ve sp = 047 = ((Peru Wild x Century) Victor) Pearson^3 These two are the same variety. On March 2, 1953 the author sent seed of No. 047, a Pearson type tomato resistant to Verticillium wilt, to Dr. J. W.
Lesley for trial. Dr. Lesley had plants grown from this seed by Clarence R. Brown, Wholesale Seed Grower, San Juan Capistrano, California. Mr. Brown selected seed from some of these plants, and their offspring later were released by him to seedsmen as Pearson B and Pearson XL.
