Grey captions say what stands behind that particular figure. Breeding, growth habit and fruit characters carry no caption because they rest on the record's sources as a whole rather than citing their own; closing that gap is ordinary outstanding work, not a finished job.
Origin & history
A heat-set determinate hybrid widely planted in southern summer production, holding fruit size when temperatures stay above the threshold where most varieties abort flowers.

Against the rest of the tomato database
Where this variety sits among every tomato we hold a comparable figure for. Position is not merit: earlier is not better than later, and hotter is not better than milder. Only cultivar-level figures are compared, never trial results, and maturity is only ranked against figures counted the same way.
earlier than 60% of the 258 tomatoes we hold a figure for. None of these figures state whether they are counted from sowing or from transplant, so they are ranked against each other on the assumption that suppliers use one convention, which is not something any of them says.

Verticillium Wilt: Recorded separately for 1 of 3 named races, with the same response to each.
1 of these claims cite a publisher's whole output rather than one publication, and does not say where inside it the statement appears, so it cannot be looked up as cited. That is a gap in our records rather than a judgement on the claim, and it is counted and being worked down.
