I finally got around to looking through the catalogs... seven (so far)...

As always, the Burpee, the Thompson & Morgan, and the Seeds of Change catalogs are the most colorful and stimulating. :') But coming up on the outside is Territorial Seed Company, that's the one I'm going through first. :') I've bought from all of the following sources, over the years, though not necessarily from the online site:

http://www.thompson-morgan.com/
http://www.burpee.com/
http://www.seedsofchange.com/
http://www.cooksgarden.com/
http://www.superseeds.com/home.htm

http://www.parkseed.com/

Here's one I think I've ordered from before, but I don't know for sure:

Here's one I used to get, it's very old timey, which I like, but I've never ordered from it, shame on me :')

Another hardcopy catalog I didn't order from, which has no website, and is definitely worth a look:

Fax 609-464-0947

I also got the Henry Field, the Gurney, and the Jung catalogs, but those are all shipped from the same place I believe. Here are other sites which look cool:

http://www.ttseeds.com/

Not really for gardening (in most climates anyway):

Something I've been wanting to grow for a long while, better but obscure relative of Salsify:

Here's something that sounds pretty wacky:

Tomato Climbing Trip-L-Crop
R.H. Shumway
(85 days). Our only climbing type produces enormous yields. Vine grows 10 to 15 ft. tall and should be supported on a trellis. Each vine produces as many as 2 to 3 bushels of tomatoes. Fruits are rich red, meaty and large. Fine beefsteak flavor. Excellent for canning. Indeterminate.
