Abstract
‘Sierra Sweet’ is an attractive, fresh market tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) developed for high soluble-solids content in ripe fruit, an important contributor to tomato flavor. ‘Sierra Sweet’ has value as a germplasm source for enhanced soluble solids and multiple disease resistance as well as a parent in the production of commercial hybrids.

Abstract
‘Earlirouge’ tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) was developed to replace ‘Starfire’, the common cultivar grown in eastern Ontario, Canada, in the 1960s. It was named for its earliness and bright red color of the fruit. It is now grown for the handpick fresh market tomato in Ontario and Quebec provinces of Canada and northeastern United States.
