ya don't I do. Oodles of this tomato seed thanks to a hunt all over the place that ened up finally not too far from home. I purchased the last sealed can of these tomato seeds from an obscure plumping supply company of all places.
This is the description Gary posted for it:
Atkinson Tomato
Description - Red, indeterminate, 75 days, vigorous, heavy foliage, firm, smooth light red flattened globes, 6-16 ounces, from Hastings Seed Company back in 1984, originally developed by Auburn University for southern climate.
I just popped the top on this can. These seeds were packed and sealed in 2000. They are not an easy tomato to find and don't know how many are still in circulation.
If your an heirloom tomato collector, or just a tomato nut, you might want to give these a try.
You can send an SASE or if ya don't have a bubble envelope just send some stamps. I can provide bubble envelopes til I run out. If you got something to trade , great, but not required. Can use any veggie or unusual seed, also looking for heirloom veggies or flowers, with the history behind them.
You can post here or send dmail.
Got Atkinson?????? Well..
Folks, Star could use all kinds of seed in her Project -- Dreaming Green.
So, If you have extra vegetable or unusual seed, send them along to her for
they will certainly be used in her projects with the young folks she will be mentoring!
Maybe it is "seed" box cleaning time!

I'd like to try a few! I have eye surgery in the morning but can get a SASE bubble mailed to you Tuesday. Are you in the addy exchange?
Darius... I am in the exchange, but don't worry about it. Got ya covered, don't worry about tryign to send a SASE to me, you just take care of yourself and that eye surgery. Hope eveything goes ok.
Thanks!
I'd like to try some of these. I've got some older seeds if you could use them in your project or I've got some fresher ones I planted this year.
Thanks, Kim
Hi Kim..
Whatver ya got would be fine. Got a major flu going on here. Sorry I didn't anser sooner.
Sending evrybody out on friday, got lot s of emails, since po so far away that way everybody can go out at once.
If your not in exchange send me your addy. : )
Hi Star, I'd like to try a few of these as well if you don't mind. I'm gathering up some stuff for your Dream Green project - so I'll send you a D-mail.

Thanks Sunny. Got you tomato seed ready.
Whoopee... Mine came today!! Thanks bunches, :-)
Your welcome Darius. If you folks need more, don't be afraid to ask. I got plenty of them still left.
if ok, i'll send an envelope today :-)
thanks, lynda
Lynda.. If ya haven't sent an envelope. Don't worry about it. I still got one here. Just send me dmail with your addy.
Starlight
I would love to try some heirloom tomato seeds if you have any left. I can send a SASBE and if you would like, I can throw in some cotton seeds.
Jerry
Jerry.. Just send me your addy and will plop them in the mail to ya. No need to send postage or anything. I got plenty. Appreciate the offer for cotton, that very nice of you, but don't need any, plenty in the farmers fields down here.
Actually was funny cuz I orginally from outside a Cleveland and had never seen cotton before or a cotton field, let alone picked it. I got to go with an ag group and pick cotton from an experimental field. Had a blast. Was a great day and learning experience. Cours e it differnt just picking a small amount as compared to those folks that did it every day by hand for a living. That some back bending work for sure. Saved me a cotton ball with a coupel of seed in it for a souvenier. : )
I'm a bit late asking but would you still be able to spare a few more seeds? I'll get an SASE in the mail on Monday if you can:)
Thanks,
Donna
Sure Donna.. Just send me addy and will get them out to ya. : )
Hey, still have any left? will be glad to send SASE. thanks greg
Dear Star....
I would dearly love to try these if you think they would do well in Zone 8 nearly Zone 9, according to a local horticulturist. He says being right off the ocean (less than 1 mile) our Zone is debateable. Regardless, I would love some seeds. I will send you several varieties of flower seeds for your green project as well as some empty seeds envelopes and postage. Thanks so very much for the offer. My DH is buying me s grow light shelving set. This will be the 2nd thing to go onto it...brug seeds already planted and just waiting for the shelving unit. PLMK
Thanks so much and God bless, Margo
Got ya covered Greg and Margo, be glad to send, just send me yoru addys and wil get them out to ya on Mon or weds. that way I can mail several folks stuf f out all at once since po in town. : )
I'd love to try some if you have some left. I can send postage and empty seed envelopes if you need some.
Brenda
