I like Mainstreet Seeds and have ordered from them several times the past few years. They have a very small selection, and only carry some of the more common varieties, but their prices are very good especially for larger amounts of seed, and shipping is relatively fast and not that expensive. And they tend to be more generous in seed numbers for their smaller packets than most sellers.
They carry my favorite sweet corn (Ambrosia), fav tomato (early girl), and snow peas. And a relatively good price for 10 seeds of seedless watermelon - which is quite good tasting. And if you grow lots of baby lettuce and just want bulk, their larger packages are a really good price.
If you are looking for the unusual however, you won't find it there.

Amaranth, I 'll second the Sunburst squash. Very productive here on the west coast, is pretty, and is one of the better tasting summer squashes. I grow it almost every year. :)

What a wonderful selection of seed catalogues that you have posted!
-
Score !! There are some great sites that I have not seen before.

Edited the list and added a couple more.
Carol Deppe will have some seed that she has been breeding that she talks about in her recent book The Resilient Gardener: Food Production and Self-Reliance in Uncertain Times. She will send out an email to people who have signed up for her newsletter.
Anyone else have more seed catalogs to add to the list?
Also to add to the fun to try list:
A cucumber that's about the size of a grape tomato and tastes like it's slightly pickled:

It's best trelised as it'v very productive. In our area it's much healhier than regular slicing or pickling cucumbers.

because I am in the Northeast I like to get seeds from northeast growers. Pine tree seeds and Vermont seed company (both are listed) are among my favorites. In particular Pine Tree garden seeds specializes in smaller less expensive packets.
There is another company I don't see listed, they specialize in tomatoes and are based in Wisconson

Territorial seed is a local company - all seeds tested here in the southern part of the Willamette (Will-lam-it)Valley.

Great list! I also order from this company http://www.nativeseeds.org/ They are based in Tucson and I've always had good results. This is a good source if you live in the Southwest.
I've ordered from Territorial before, they have both great seeds and nice customer service and Baker Creek is another company I like. Thanks for reminding me about Nichol's Garden, as I use to always use those.

Thank you Amaranth. What a fantastic list. I found something I have been trying to find for years on the Italian seeds website. I can't thank you enough.
