Hi Michael,
Welcome to the Tomato list! Your question is just fine for posting here.
I am providing you contact info for a supplier of Mr. Stripey (below), but
also was wondering how you went about saving your seed from previous
crops. I am surprised that you haven't gotten any germination, so I am
wondering if your method might be killing the seeds. So... how have you
been saving tomato seed in the past? Have you had good luck with seed you
have saved of other varieties?
You can purchase seed for Mr. Stripey from Tomato Growers Supply. It is
listed under "Bi-Colors." Their website can be found at:
http://www.tomatogrowers.com
Select the link for Bicolors and you should find it. Alternatively, you
may call them at their toll-free phone number and either order the seeds
(Catalog #4735 Mister Stripey (Tigerella) priced at $1.60 for 30 seeds).
The toll free phone number is:
1-888-478-7333
There are many other vendors who sell either Mr. Stripey, Tigerella, or
other tiger-striped varieties, if you want to do a larger scale search. I
am in no way affiliated with Tomato Growers -- I am only a satisfied
customer, and have no financial incentive for recommending them.
