Hi Thomas, I never bought from them.

Here are my favorites, but "coastal PNW" and "Deep East Texas" are about as different as two places can be and still both be Zone 8. Still, Franchi, Johnnies, Botanical Interests and Baker Creek are for everyone.
Baker Creek's catalog (paper and online) is like four-star "garden porn".

Asian edible crop seeds:
Tainong seeds - (call or email and ask for the $2 "sample packets". Generous!) ask "OP or hybrid?"
Kitazawa - (very wide selection and great descriptions that let you compare varieties. Even recopies!)
Rick Corey - (trade or SASE for NGA contributors) http://garden.org/apps/swap/vi...

Fancy-Shmancy
Franchi - "Seeds of Italy" http://www.growitalian.com/ big, foil packets. Incredible Italian heirloom veggies.
Botanical Interests - great selection & info. GREAT info on seed packets! Both flowers and interesting veggies.
Baker Creek Heirlooms - http://www.rareseeds.com/store... (The Bulk Seed category is well-hidden. GREAT rare heirlooms)

Just crops
Territorial (commercial pricing, privately held, wholly owned by Tom and Julie Johns, field trials done in Oregon)
Johnnies http://www.johnnyseeds.com/ (great Grower's Library, videos & tools)
Ed Hume (for short season and cool climate, like coastal PNW) https://www.humeseeds.com/
