This is still going to need some work, but this is what I've been working on for the past couple of days.
Here is the most updated list of seeds available. The highlighted names are the seeds that I need help doing grow-outs. If anyone has a seed source of less than three years and would like to donate them or if someone wants one of these varieties and is willing to donate seeds from their plants, it would be very helpful.
Many of these seeds have been donated (in original GRIN envelopes) and a lot of them have been donated in quantities which will make them available to everyone.
The highlighted names will be sent on a first come- first served basis. These seeds will be limited to about 100 seeds per request (maybe a few more depending on the variety.

Red Russian TC 588 PDF There's a long story behind this one. Basically, it's the oldest N.tabacum variety I can find in the data base. The name has changed and there is no information on it. Through a little bit of research, I've found it is a naturally occurring variety in South America, through Central America and into Mexico. Could very well be one of the original tobacco varieties. It's former name was Macrophylla Purpurea. It has been used in many experiments in crossing, but it is acknowledged as a true N. Tabacum.

I'll be filling in the TI numbers and the names as I find them.
Member Hakam sent a generous number of his seeds from Egypt. The name is unknown, but he's sure it is an Oriental variety from Lebanon
I also have a lot of unknown varieties, mostly from internet purchases that were mixed when I got them. Some are quite unique and some aren't. I'll go back to my notes and try to add descriptions.
Shade type (mixed up varieties in “CT Shade Leaf”)
Type I
Type II
Type III
Type IV
Type V
A whole leaf customer sent me seeds from Florida from two plants. He said his cuban neighbor grows it every year and he grows “a field” of it and sells it to cigar companies. He was unable to get the names of the varieties. They were labeled 1 and 2
Phil from HTGT sent me some 1951 White Burley seeds that I was unable to germinate. There is a thread over at HTGT where someone joined just to comment on how to assist in the germination by introducing some kind of chemical. This person gave a very clear account of how to do it and she really sounded like she knew what she was talking about. If someone has time to research it, it might be worthwhile.
If I find any more donated seeds, I'll list them when I find them. If you have a contribution you'd like to add, send me a PM.
Thanks,
Don
