Cordon (Indeterminate). An excellent new tomato for glasshouse or outdoor culture to provide lots of deliciously different fruit for salads etc. With their exceptional and very high sugar content (it definitely rivals 'Gardeners Delight') these attractive golden orange, approx. 1/2 oz, fruit are irresistible with a sweet flavor all their own - almost a dessert fruit!

Sowing:

For greenhouse culture sow late winter to early spring 1/16 inch deep. Germination usually takes 6-14 days at 75-80F.

Growing:

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 3 inch pots and later plant out into growbags, pots etc. 18-24 inches apart. Outside, sow early spring and grow as above. When 8 inches tall gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions and plant out 15-18 inches apart 30 inches between rows in a warm sheltered sunny spot in moist, fertile well drained soil and keep well staked.

Aftercare:

Remove side shoots as they appear and restrict the plant to one main stem. Outdoor plants remove growing tip late summer to hasten ripening.
