SIMPLY SALAD FUSEABLES 

(FUSEABLE VEGETABLES ) 

Creating “Fuseables” is a recent technology where 

several different varieties and/or species are ‘moulded’ 

together into one ‘pellet’ resembling a large seed. This 

pellet may contain 3 to 5 seeds ( in some cases more). 

There are currently two types of pellets, one pellet 

is formed with a very fine clay (like talcum powder) 

and you can’t actually see the seeds, the other pellets 

use a slightly different compound in which you can 

often see some of the seed. Both pellets achieve the 

same result – a fantastic and unique ‘fusion of foliage’ 

of the different plants as the seeds germinate and 

begin to grow. This uniqueness cannot be achieved 

by transplanting individual varieties. It is important to 

keep the seed raising media well watered to allow the 

pellet coating to break down. 

SIMPLY SALAD FUSEABLES 

Supplied as multi-species, multi-pellet with 3 or more 

seedlings per pellet. Can be grown in 10-15cm pots and 

bowls. Easy to produce with a very quick crop time. 

Multi-pellets are efficient to sow in plugs or direct to the 

final container, ensuring a well-balanced mix with one 

sowing. Sowing directly into the final container can cut 

a week or more off the crop time. Plug crop time: 2 to 3 

weeks. Plug to finish: 2 to 4 weeks. Height: 30cm.

Kale, a super-food, can deliver. The principal point of

that the Babyleaf version only needs to be blanched for 

a couple of minutes to be ready to serve and boasts a 

sweeter taste than its larger counterpart. There is a lot

What is the difference between “Determinate” and 

“Indeterminate” tomatoes? 

Determinate varieties of tomatoes, also called “bush” 

tomatoes, are varieties that are bred to grow to a 

compact height (approx 1 metre). They stop growing 

when fruit sets on the terminal or top bud and ripen 

all their crop at, or near, the same time (usually over 

a 2 week period), and then die. They may require a 

limited amount of caging and/or staking for support. 

Determinate varieties should NOT be pruned or have 

laterals removed, as this severely reduces the crop. 

Indeterminate varieties of tomatoes are also called 

“Vining” tomatoes. They will grow and produce fruit 

until killed by frost and can reach heights of up to 

2 metres. They will bloom, set new fruit and ripen 

fruit all at the same time throughout the growing 

season. They require substantial caging and/or staking 

for support. Pruning and the removal of laterals is 

practiced by many, but is not mandatory. Due to the 

need for substantial support and the size of the plants, 

Indeterminate varieties are not usually recommended 

as container plants. 

TOMATOES [DETERMINATE = DWARF] 


ENTERPRISE Maturity 75 days. Fruit globe shaped;

TOMATOES HEIRLOOM (Solanum lycopersicon) 


The definition of the use of the word heirloom to 

describe plants is highly debated. One school of 

thought places an age or date point on the cultivars. 

For instance, one school says that the seeds must be 

over 100 years old, others 50 years, and others prefer 

the date of 1945 which marks the end of World War II 

and roughly the beginning of widespread hybrid use by 

growers and seed companies or industrial agriculture. 

Another way of defining heirloom cultivars is to use the 

definition of the word “heirloom” in its truest sense. 

Under interpretation, a true heirloom is a cultivar that 

has been nurtured, selected, and handed down from 

one family member to another for many generations. 

Heirloom Marriage 

We have heard many comments that Heirloom varieties 

have better flavour. While this can be debated, what 

cannot be debated is that generally Heirloom varieties 

offer poor vigour, poor disease resistance and poor 

yields compared to F1 Hybrid Tomatoes. There is 

nothing “bad” about an F1 Hybrid, they simply have 

controlled cross of pollen from one parent to another 

(ie the bee basically gets replaced by a paint brush!). 

The Heirloom Marriage varieties are a match made in 

Tomato Heaven! – a cross between two Heirlooms to 

create a tomato that is much higher yielding and earlier 

maturing than their Heirloom parents. They keep all 

their flavour and have fewer blemishes!

HEIRLOOM MIX 

With so many Heirloom Tomato varieties available 

today it is difficult to know which ones to grow. This mix 

provides the opportunity to “cover all bases” and reap 

the rewards & advantages of growing many varieties. 

Some will be early and some late, giving a longer 

harvest period, a wide range of colours and Heirloom 

only flavours.

HEIRLOOM BLACK KRIM 

Some say “One of the best flavoured black tomatoes in 

the world!” Fruits turn an “almost” black colour when 

ripe. Descriptions such as “they look almost rotten” 

and “elegant” have been used to describe Black Krim. 

Regardless of how it looks, people do agree that it has a 

slightly smoky, sweet taste, totally unique to the variety. 

Indeterminate. 

HEIRLOOM RED PEAR 

Like Yellow Pear (listed below) except, as its name 

suggests… its red! Plants like to spread out. 

HEIRLOOM SAN MARZANO TALL 

Blocky plum shaped fruits renowned for its quality. 

Used by the experts for pasta sauces and juices. The 

fruit is much earlier and more productive than other 

open pollinated varieties. San Marzano also has less 

seeds than other Italian tomato varieties. 

HEIRLOOM YELLOW PEAR 

Everyone will love this late 1800’s variety. The mildflavoured 

fruit hangs in clusters like grapes. Sweet and 

low in acid. Great for adding colour and unusual shade 

to your salads. Produces continually all summer long.

Marrow seed entering New Zealand are now 

subject to a MPI requirement confirming that they 

must be free of Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic 

Virus (CGMMV) and Kyuri Green Mottle Mosaic 

Virus (KGMMV). This additional compliance cost 

is very significant, especially on low volume 

selling lines, approximately $1,000.00 if a test is 

required. Regretfully we must pass these costs on. 

How popular are zucchini? We produce a lot of

Cultural Information 

DORMANCIES 

Some seeds contain dormancies which inhibit 

germination. The process we recommend to overcome 

these dormancies is listed in our catalogue as 

“Germination Method”. To encourage even and rapid 

germination we recommend this treatment is carried 

out prior to sowing.

MS

HW 

KEY TO GERMINATION 

METHOD (SEED TREATMENT) 

Sow seed direct from packet and keep 

moist until germinated. 

Fresh seed – sow on receipt. Seed 

marked FS cannot be stored, it must be 

sown on receipt. 

Seed marked MS is perishable and 

cannot be dry stored. After collection 

and cleaning we place seed in cold 

moist storage and dispatch packed in 

moist sawdust. On receipt of this seed 

it should be placed in cold stratification 

until spring when it will be ready to 

plant. Seed received after spring should 

be sown on receipt. 

Cold stratify for number of days 

specified (eg S 28 = Stratify for 28 days). 

Water soak overnight, spread seed 

between layers of wet absorbent paper, 

seal in a plastic bag with plenty of air 

space. Keep moist in refrigerator at 2-5°C 

for 28 days. 

Warm stratify for number of days 

specified. Prepare seed as for cold 

stratification but keep moist at 20-30°C 

Pour boiling water over seed, leave to 

cool and soak for 24 hours. Sow the seed 

that has swollen. Repeat the process for 

the remaining seed. Some species with 

very hard seed coats may require several 

treatments before they will respond. 

Scarification with sandpaper before 

treatment may be beneficial in speeding 

up the process in some species. 

All cultural and descriptive information, advice and 

recommendations are given as a general guide only. 

If there is any doubt about a method, please contact 

Egmont Seeds for further assistance. 

CULTURE GUIDE – GROWING INFORMATION 

We endeavour to advise where we can, the cultural 

information in relation to our seed lines offered, 

however sometimes it is just not possible. For those 

items that do have this information, it is listed in the 

table at the beginning of the species. Below is the detail 

for each germination number method that is mentioned 

throughout the catalogue. This information is offered 

as a guide only, if you have success using a variation 

to the information provided, obviously common sense 

should prevail..... If it ain’t broke – don’t fix it!

GERMINATION METHODS 

Seeds that require light to germinate – 

Apply a light sprinkle of fine vermiculite to 

maintain a uniform moisture level. (Vermiculite 

allows the light to penetrate). Wet media prior 

to seeding as this helps avoid washing fine 

seeds down into the media. 

Seeds that require dark to germinate – 

These seeds should be covered by a mixture 

of fine vermiculite and germination media. The 

cover should be the approximate diameter 

of the seed. Once 60-70% of the seeds have 

germinated, place in light to avoid stretching 

the seedlings. 

Seeds requiring a light cover, or no specific 

treatment – Sow seeds as close to the surface 

of the media as possible. Lightly cover the 

seeds with fine vermiculite to maintain a 

uniform moisture level. 

Seeds that require cold to germinate – Sow 

seeds and place in a germination chamber 

between 18-22°C for 14-21 days. Reduce the 

temperature to between 0-4°C for 21-35 days. 

After chilling time, increase the temperature to 

between 16-20°C to complete germination. 

Seeds that require pre-soaking to 

germinate – Soak seeds in luke warm water 

for 24 hours before sowing. Change water 

often to remove toxins. Cover the seeds with 

germination media and fine vermiculite. 

Primula acaulis – Primula elatior – Primula 

vulgaris (Primula / Polyanthus) – Sow 

seeds and place in a germination chamber 

between 18-20°C for 20-28 days. Later reduce 

temperature to 16-17°C to prevent stretching 

in the seed tray. Primula are very sensitive to 

moisture stress. Keep media moist to the touch 

but not saturated.
