I do know Peron very well

http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Peron

Tania says delicious and sweet when she grew it, which was not my experience at all and would never grow it again.

Look at the history since it was described as somewhat of a miracle variety that was resistant to almost all diseases, I think not as grown by me out of sheer curiousity.

I just checked my 2017 SSE Annual yearbook and there are just two persons who offer it and I know both of them very well.

Both listed it as Peron Sprayless, which Tania noted in the link above.

As grown by Al in OH and Bill in WI, neither one raved about it as they would have if it were a different variety.

Then I checked Glenn Drowns Sandhill Preservation catalog and he listed it as Peron and said

(Early,semi-determinate, very large,uniform red globe fruits, It was developed prior to 1954 by Professor Abelana Piovana of Argentina. Fairly resistant to fungal diseases)

Hope that helps,

Carolyn
