There are thousands of seed companies out there.  I would suggest going to a good search engine (I adore the following which organizes the topics by types so you can eliminate entire folders that are the names of a B&B instead of the plant you are looking for) and typing in the variety name and the common name and see what you get.

Personally, I have gotten to the place where I *only* place seed orders on the web.  If the seed is not available, I know immediately at the checkout and can either replace a variety immediately or go to another website.  I have been burned too often through the mail (Fedco is notorious for not admitting they don't have a variety and keeping you hanging throughout the season, especially if you are outside New England -- I was warned by market growers in MD and VA about them and as I was burned myself on orders for the entire community garden, I won't deal with them *ever* again) to put my planting schedule at risk because a seed company can't decide if they are going to REALLY have the seed available or not.
