I read your mind and answered your question before you asked it at the beginning of this thread.
The results of this experiment are not nearly as impressive as I remembered it from the 1970s so I am repeating the experiment with 13 and 21 year old tomato seeds that were stored in my basement (as opposed to a refrigerator). If any of those seeds germinate (which will surprise me), I will post the results. Otherwise, you can assume that those experiments were failures or I am dead.
Chloroform might improve the germination of seeds of tomato relatives such as eggplant or potato. Yes, I know that potatoes are not typically grown from seeds.
