Pinetree Seeds in Maine - great service and great prices. Cheryl
Not sure yet but I got the Parks catalog today!
Parks, Johnny's, Pinetree, Nichols, Shepherds. Burpee. And others.
Best to present the ones you're considering and ask which are duds.
The user review is good. Also that it explains which companies own which catalogs. I didn't know parks owns wayside for example.
My favorites for seed: Parks & Burpee for flowers with a slight edge to Burpee in the consistent quality department; Burpee, Shepherds & Johnny's for vegetables. Johnny's puts the germination rate on the envelope so you have a better idea how many to sow.
I also ordered some plants from Parks and they were well packaged and healthy.
