disease resistance. Stake well and keep<br />

leaves-this aids in deep root<br />
development.<br />

tomatoes and it is a very early variety. It<br />

has a good disease resistance. Stake well<br />
and keep well fed and watered. It<br />
requires full sun. A very sweet tomato.<br />
Start seed indoors 8 weeks before<br />

Tomato Manitoba 1<strong>01</strong>695<br />
Juicy!!<br />
This was a top performer in our 1995<br />
seed trials. It is a very trustworthy early<br />
variety that is excellent for the prairies.<br />
Very juicy fruit that is bright red in<br />
colour. Deep well-drained soil is best.<br />
Mulch the soil in hot dry weather to<br />
retain even soil moisture.Start seed<br />
indoors 10 -12 weeks prior to last frost.<br />
Eliminate blossom end rot problems by<br />
deep watering the plants so that the root<br />
system will be less affected by<br />
fluctuations in soil moisture. When<br />
transplanting, bury the stem of the<br />
tomato up to the second or third set of<br />
true leaves. This will aid in deep root<br />
development.<br />
GARDENING TIP<br />
To help support young plants that have<br />
just been transplanted in the garden,<br />
put juice cans, pop bottles or bleach<br />
bottles (with ends removed) over the<br />
plants. This also helps to keep plants<br />
warmer, moist and keeps animals from<br />
tramping on tender young plants.<br />
Remove cans when plants are strong<br />
enough to support themselves.<br />
