Martin, M. W. 1976. Naming and release of four tomato varieties: Roza, Columbia, Rowpac, and Saladmaster. Release notice dated 4/2/76 by ARS, USDA, Washington Agric. Expt. Sta. and Idaho Agric. Expt. Sta. COLUMBIA, ROZA, AND ROWPAC Pedigree:
Characteristics: Columbia (tested as CVF 2054 and CVF 2722) Fruit: Red, 180 g, firm, fleshy, crack resistant, ship well when ripe. Processes well. High yields, even under hot, dry conditions. Ripen over relatively short period, good vine storage. Flavor good, mild. Serving well as home and market-garden variety in Southwest and Northwest. Fruit produced late in season, after main harvest, often are too small to market. Plants: sp, compact, 1 m across, produces good fruit coverage. Resistant to curly top virus, F(I), and Ve. Resistance to curly top is a moderate escaping ability that is especially effective when direct seeded. Maturity medium late. Performs best when direct seeded and when well fertilized and irrigated early in season. Characteristics: Roza (tested as CVF 2054 and CVF 2748) Fruit: Red, 150 g, firm, fleshy, crack resistant, processes well, high vitamin C, good viscosity. Excellent set and yields, even under hot, dry conditions. Ripens over short period, good vine storage. Flavor good, mild. Becoming a popular home-garden variety throughout the warmer areas of Northwest, Intermountain West, and Southwest. Too small for market garden. Plants: sp, compact plants 0.8 m across, provides good fruit coverage. Resistant to curly top virus, F(I), and Ve. Higher level of curly top escaping ability than Columbia. Maturity mid-season, one week earlier than Columbia. Performs best when direct seeded and when well fertilized and irrigated early in season. Characteristics: Rowpac (tested as CVF 2054, CVF 2791, and CVF 2792) Fruit: Red, 120 g ' very firm, crack resistant, adapted to machine harvesting, often separates without stems, processes well. High yields, even under hot, dry conditions. Ripens over short period, good vine storage. Flavor good. Useful as early home-garden variety and machine-harvested processing line, or as multi-disease resistant parent in development of such lines for the West. Plants: sp, compact plants 0.8 m, provide good fruit cover. Resistant to curly top virus, F(l), and Ve. Somewhat better curly top escaping ability than Roza. Maturity early mid-season, one week earlier than Roza. Performs best when direct seeded and when well fertilized and irrigated early in season. SALADMASTER Pedigree: Lycopersicon humifusum x L. esculentum^3 Characteristics: Fruit: Red, 60 g, large, egg-shaped cherry, very firm, produces bright red, intact wedges for salads when quartered by slicing through the stem end. Excellent eating quality, high in acids, sugars, and vitamin C. High yields, concentrated in relatively short period, holds well on vine, usually separates from vine without stems, usually resists cracking, but late season rains cause some superficial longitudinal splitting of skin. Plants: Large sp, semi-compact plants, 1.5 m across, provide good fruit cover. Resistant to curly top virus, F(I), and Ve. Most plants escape curly top even under severe exposure. Maturity early. Performs best when transplanted. Has been an excellent parent in development of curly top resistant, machine-harvest, processing lines. Martin, M. W. 1984.
