Is Ferry-Morris's "Jubilee" the same as "Golden Jubilee"?

Qweniden · February 15, 2011

I had an impulse purchase today at Home Depo of 'Jubilee' seeds from Ferry-Morris. Is this the same variety as 'Golden Jubilee"?

Thanks in advance.

Don't know if there's an easy answer to your question, unless someone who has grown "Jubilee" from Ferry-Morse can tell you. The following link may explain:

Ferry-Morris describes it as An All-American Selection, that would be the 1943 Burpee
Jubilee, but some vendors also call it Golden Jubilee. Confusing ain't it?

Ferry-Morse sells seed for Jubilee, a selection from Tangerine x Rutgers bred by W. Atlee Burpee Company, and first appearing in their 1943 catalog. Jubilee should be a large orange, deep globe shaped tomato with meaty interior and mild flavor.

I think since 2005, Ferry-Morse has operated as a subsidiary of Jiffy of the Americas, Inc., meaning that they most likely sell the same seed lines as Plantation and National Seed Company. I think Ferry-Morse now packs seed for both Walmart and Lowes, or at least they did the past few years, with the Walmart label selling at just a mite higher price per package than the National Seed 10 for a dollar packages.
