Thomson and Morgan seed co are great plant breeders, and sell via nurseries, as well as their online seed catalogue. They have a good range of tomatoes, and choose a variety that has the growing and fruiting style that you want. Eg. some are better in greenhouses, others are fine outdoors, some will trail, others will grow tall, as most do, plus they have everything from mini sweet tomatoes, upto the giant ones.

Their seeds are always good quality, and I love their range with regular new hybrids etc.
Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
Totally Tomatoes has a wide variety of tomatoes to choose from. They are a mail order catalog out of Randolph, WI: http://www.totallytomato.com
Hybridizers are always coming out with new hybrids. Your area, the type of tomato and how you’ll be growing them, e.g., in planters or in the garden, all make a difference in what will work best for you. Asking at your local garden centre is a good idea. I have a fairly short growing season so I need plants that will mature fairly quickly otherwise I’ll be eating lots of fried green tomatoes and green tomato chow-chow.

you could go and buy one at any store and take out the seeds and there you go but any feed and grain or plant place should help ya also even walmarts
Go to your local nursery or garden center. They sell what grows best in your area.

your state should have an agricultural college and or county extension service. Search for your state agricultural college. For instance Indiana has Purdue.
