Maaroiair, x i : a fit' auwKf t >liß Janette Burrows is a keen judge of grafted tomatoes Janette is manager of Gardenway’s Hornby, branch and she passes on some helpful information from observations made during judging. “Provide plenty of space for your Maxitom — it will grow as far as you care to train and support it. Some competitors lost out because they underestimated the. plant’s capabilities. They require less care per kilo than ordinary tomatoes provided they get it regularly.” Janette is a fan of Gardenway’s Moist-sure irrigation system She installed it to care for container grown display plants and recommends ‘Moist-sure’ for Maxitoms too. Plant Maxitoms in November and they will far outcrop and outlast traditional tomato plants. Their exceptional vigour pushes them further and further ahead as the days and weeks go by. Grow them high on a trellis or low along the house foundations, in a tub or alongside the garage wall. It makes no difference your Maxitom will fill the space with trusses of medium sized fine flavoured fruit. The information booklet “Maxitonis without tears” is free with each purchase of Maxitoms and also entitles you to take I part in the $l2OO South Island Competition. First prize $lOOO I V A cash.
