Siberian tomato seeds wanted

The tomato that produced earliest for me was Sibirskiy Skorospelyi, a Russian commercial variety which was developed in the 1950s by the Western-Siberian Potato-Vegetable Experimental Lab

I just got out the package, and it's empty.  Also, I didn't save any seeds.  I've checked online to buy some, and companies are out of it.

I've just found out the reason for my lack of seed saving - the early fruits are seedless.

Does anyone have a couple of seeds for me?

Hi Diane,
     Good luck with your search. (I've noticed seedless early fruit in some other cultivars.)

     I'm intrigued by your report of this being your earliest tomato. It's not one I've heard of before. Was it earliest by much? What other earlys were you growing along side it?

I've just discovered seeds I saved - from last year! I had better change the title.

The year Sibirskiy Skorospelyi was ripe on July 20, I was leaving on a trip to South Africa so didn't keep very good notes.  Others ripe a bit later were 0-33, Ambrosia Red, Forme de Coeur, Fruhe Liebe, Polar Gem and Slava.

I will keep better track this year as I won't be travelling.
