Valueseeds.com has low prices. I've planted some seeds from them. Some types didn't germinate, but most did. Not bad for the price.

Crosman's Seeds has low prices, too, but I've never ordered from them. Sand Hill Preservation Center has some seeds, mostly veggies, at decent prices. I haven't ordered from them, either. Burpee is expensive, but I've never had trouble germinating seeds from their catalog. Direct Gardening offers some seeds at decent prices, but this company does not have a good reputation. (Most of the complaints are about their plants, though.) Their shipping is also pretty expensive for seeds alone, since it's geared toward bulb and plant orders.

I buy mine from swallowtailgardenseeds.com.

Depends if you're looking for cheap, "upscale" with lots of HTF varieties & quality, or somewhere in between.

Personally, as a newbie seed starter and cheapskate on EVERYTHING, I like TGN's Pumpkin Nook for Ferry Morse (50% off), and Valueseeds.com for Thompson & Morgan brand. I have yet to order from Select Seeds, but will probably use them.

Call me a goober on this one, but I like Livingston Seeds' packaging, also Rebecca's garden, so I buy those locally.

Bulk seed, dirt cheap.... Good selection... 1/8 lb to Multiple pounds.... Great for mass planting.

Prompt service. Great germination.

I always preferred to get the catalogs and put a post-it flag on everything I wanted to buy, then go the online address in the catalog and place my order - unless I already know exactly what I want.

An additional value to doing it this way is that if you really like or dislike a certain variety or provider you can mark up the post-it flag and keep it on the shelf till next year for quick reference.

forgot about eBay...and Lonnies Bulk Seeds (dot com). Many sellers offering great qty of each seed for cheap with good shipping prices.

Pinetree seeds is very reasonable because they sell in smaller quantities. Usually 90 cents a packet. I've had good luck with them. Otherwise Parks is great!

I love to order from Johnny's Selected Seeds, and from Thompson and Morgan.

Also, Wildflower seeds in Fredrichsburg, Texas is great! I order tomatoes and some pepper seeds for DH from Totally Tomatoes.

Thompson and Morgan: tremendous variety, hermetically sealed packaging, lots of seeds in a packet, currently having a half-price sale online. (http://www.thompson-morgan.com/en)
Territorial Seeds: For vegetable varieties that grow well in the Pacific Northwest.(http://www.territorial-seed.com)
Johnny's Seeds: good variety, good quality, great instructions on how to grow (http://www.johnnyseeds.com)

Park Seeds is my favorite, for quality and germination.
Johnny's is great for veggie varieties in cool temps.
I tried Select Seeds and wasn't happy with germination.

i am selling venus' flytrap seeds if you are interested. :) they are bearly harvested as well.

www.jlhudsonseeds.com is great they has huge selection of seed, temperate and tropical, based in California. www.greendealer-exotic-seeds.com has a good selection of basic seeds as well as interesting and unusal native species and tropical exotics, based from Kentucky. www.richters.com has nearly every herb and medicinal seed and plant from A-Z, based from Canada.

there is a place on e-bay, Stacy's seeds. I bought a few at first, then just could NOT stay away from her site, she has an excellent selection of seeds, very fast shipping and her prices are great. She also includes a bonus pack of
wild flower seeds (an & per). Of all the places i have bought seeds from she is turning out to be my favorite.

She also sells in bulk or small qty., you can either bid on the seeds or use the buy it now option. And she offers discount shipping for additional products at the time of your purchase.

Worth checking into.
