I have had nothing but positive experiences from all the companies on my lists, but I strongly suggest to anyone reading this to exercise their own due diligence before making any purchases from any business. I am not affiliated with any of the companies on my lists, but I always urge my fellow Minnesotans to support Minnesota companies when possible. :-)

I get Territorial, Stokes, Johnny's, Kitazawa catalogs - I really like these companies but I do not like their high product prices and/or shipping prices.

Companies that I order from occasionally.
Jordan Seeds (bulk seeds, a Woodbury, Minnesota company!)
Prairie Moon Nursery (native flowers only, a Winona, Minnesota company!)
Totally Tomatoes
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds
Fedco Seeds
Shumway's
Seeds of Change
Sustainable Seed (online catalog only)
Vermont Bean Seed
Pinetree Seeds
Jung Seeds and Plants
Potato Garden (potatoes only)
Nourse (berry plants only)
Growers Supply (gardening supplies & equipment only)
County SWCD's (bulk bare root shrubs/trees - an excellent resource)

Companies that I order from regularly/yearly.
Victory Seeds (online catalog only)
Synergy Seeds (rare/unique varieties, online catalog only)
Sand Hill Preservation (an Iowa company)
Seed Savers Exchange (an Iowa company)
Southern Exposure Seed Exchange
Bountiful Gardens
Dixondale Farms (onion plants only)

All of these companies offer free hard copy catalogs by request except for those noted "online catalog only". On principle I will not pay for a catalog because to me that is like paying for the privilege of being a customer. All of these companies are accessible on the web, catalogs can be requested through their web sites.

I get quite a few catalogs from other companies that appear to be reputable, but I never purchase from them so I see no point in listing them here.

I welcome any questions regarding my experiences doing business with any of those companies.

Hope everyone is having a great winter!

To Tom's list I would add:

(1) http://www.hardyplants.com
This is another MN outfit (Apple Valley), seeds only, I believe. They often have unusual and hard-to-find items.

(2) I also order from Swallowtail Garden Seeds (Santa Rosa, CA). Very reliable. Quite a few pelleted seeds, which I like.

(3) Quite a good selection of unusual seeds, especially perennials and vines: Gardens North: Seeds for the World. I forget the lady's name who runs it; she used to be in, I think, Ontario; is now in Nova Scotia. Seeds take longer to reach U.S. and catalogue doesn't always indicate what's sold out, but good things here.
