Rose Tomato is large like Brandywine and has 10-12 seeds per froit. It's more productive and tastes better than Brandywine also. I grow a half dozen greeb var.s but all of them are seedy.

I find that Cherokee Purple usually has very few seeds compared to the other heirlooms. So few that I never bother to remove them and I don't like seeds.

Most any of the wispy leafed heart shapes are very meaty with few seeds, like the Orange Strawberry you mentioned. For a green, I didn't really pay attention, but don't remember Green Giant or Grub's Mystery Green having a lot of seeds. Personally, I don't mind the seeds, since often the gel surrounding them is what gives the tomatoes it's salty acid zing.

Ddsack, I must be gifted because I can grow Orange Strawberry, and Red and get BER even though they are supposed to be resistant to it. However, this year I planted Sheboygan, a wispy leafed-pink-paste type...and not a single one with BER. It does have fewer seeds, and as an added bonus, the flavor isn't bland like other pastes.

Beefsteak!

I second "Rose."

AKA "Red Rose" as in this link? I've been thinking about trying this one. If not this one, do you have a link?

No, Red Rose (at TGS) is an entirely different tomato with a different history.

Here's Rose:

Without a doubt, "ASHLEIGH". Out of 8 fruits, each weighing in the pound range I had a total of 15 seeds. This variety is all meat! And it puts out the Toms! I grew it in a 7 gal container.

Thanks everyone, I will defintely try most of the types mentioned above. Is Ashleigh easily available here in the US? I searched briefly, but could not find it.

So sad when the end of summer comes, no more tomatoes till next year...

Ashleigh's history from Tatania's TOMATObase:

Neil Gillard from Ontario, Canada (ONT GI N) got the seed from friends at Wilber Lake, Ontario, who in turn got it from their neighbour. This variety originally came unnamed from Lazec, Macedonia, and Neil decided to name it after his niece Ashleigh.

More info at:
http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Ashleigh

It's mentioned a lot in Google, so apparently a lot of people are growing it or discussing it. It doesn't seem to be carried by any major commercial vendors yet. However, Remy has it at The Sample Seed Shop:

Red Rose is actually pink; it's an older variety that was a Rutgers x Brandywine cross.

Hey Woodcutter2008; I got my Rose seeds from here

Ashleigh is good too but I prefer the taste of Rose better.

Sorry about that, it should have read...

I cast my vote for Cleota Pink. It put out beautiful fruit with few seeds. Certainly more than Ashleigh, but not many. Best tasting tomato in my garden this year. In my SWCs, they were about 1.5 pounds each. In ground at my Dad's place, they were 2 pounds each. No BER.

MOST of the heart varieties have very few seeds. One is Slankard's--it also won Biggest Tomato at the 2009 Buffalo-Niagara Tomato TasteFest.

Hey Tkordenbrock; I have "Cleota Pink" from Mariseeds, but have yet to grow. How is the taste? Sweet/mild or Tangy/Robust? The Photo on Mariseeds shows a monster but I am assuming most are smaller. What is your experience?

Last year I grew Green Sausage - very few seeds and not a lot of juice. The children love the tomato for salsa.

Mike

best tasting with no seeds?

Wes!
