Abstract

A new and distinct variety of a hybrid tomato plant substantially as herein shown and described, characterized as to novelty when compared to Flora-Dade, Tempo and Walter, the most similar cultivars to it, by uniform crop characteristics, low grading loss, high yield, large fruit, low percentage of fruit ripening defects and multiple disease resistance and tolerance.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of tomato plant, Sunny, which was produced and originated asexually by Carroll Grey Briggs. The plant was propagated by crossing the variety TOM 537 with TOM 540. The former being the seed parent and the latter being the pollen parent.
Their breeding has produced a new and improved cultivar of tomato plant which is distinguished from its parents as well as all other cultivars that I am aware of. The cultivars most similar to it are Flora-Dade, Tempo and Walter. It is distinguished from Flora-Dade by larger fruit, higher yield, pointed pedicels and softer fruit. It is distinguished from Tempo by resistance to Verticillium dahliae and firmer fruit. It is distinguished from Walter by larger and firmer fruit, higher yield and resistance to Verticillium dahliae.
