Harris is a quality operation, but not one I've ordered from in recent years.

My favorite is Pinetree, but I also rank Johnny's and Stokes very highly, and
I like Territorial, too.

Pinetree and Johnny's are in Maine, Stokes is based in Canada
and Territorial in Oregon. Pinetree is oriented toward home gardeners,
with smaller packets of seeds at very reasonable prices. Johnny's has
developed and introduced new varieties and is oriented toward northern
growers. Stokes is super for hybrid sweet corn (many exclusive to them).
They also sell a number of flowers in single color packets that other suppliers
only provide in color mixes.

Use Google groups to search here and in rec.gardens.edible for
suggestions/opinions. There is no "best" source. Pinetree and Johnny's
are reputable and have many cold-climate varieties. Best to ask rather
which are the *worst* experiences people have had. There are a few of
these.

online.

Hi there - saw your post after I posted my rave about Johnny's.
They're great. I had a great experience ordering from them. They have
a great variety of veggie seeds. Check out their site if you want!
http://www.johnnyseeds.com
Hope this help you.

Regards,
Alisa

I also use Johnny's with great success (looks like I'm not alone!).
I also like Fedco- great for cold climates and lots of organic seed. Their
catalogue is super, too.

Have fun!

Garden Watchdog is a great web site that rates virtually all mail order seed
suppliers. You can find out who's hot - and more importantly - who's not. I
rely on this heavily in my business. Happy Hunting!

I've had good luck with seeds from Vesey's.
