    I'm partial to these guys, especially for heirloom and out of the ordinary varieties:

    Unfortunately I'm just seeing now that because of heavy volume, they're going to be down for a few days....

    Johnny’s Selected Seeds is a good catalog. Also Fedco up in Maine has a nice selection.

    Here are some seed companies.

    JW Jung Seeds has acquired several of my favorite seed suppliers including Vermont Bean Company and Totally Tomatoes. Do not confuse JW Jung with Jungs Seeds (wich is owned by Monsato)

    Burpees acquired Cook's Garden, which supplies a lot of gourmet-type greens and specialty seeds.

    These acquisitions have not necessarily changed the goodness of the product, but it seems like there is more crossover between catalogs now.
