For seeds, try J.L. Hudson - the very best collection of seeds, all used ethnobotanically, The Pepper Gal, Nichols -

Pepper Gal sent me treated seed not labeled as such in 1999 -- I only found out it was treated when I opened the package and saw the dye on the seeds. (Even if you don't care whether the seed is treated, that's a significant labeling problem as the info was, I believe, legally required to be on the packets).

Admittedly this was ten years ago and they may be behaving better now. I don't think I've ordered from them since, so it may have been an isolated problem rather than a common practice. They did have a lot of varieties hard to find elsewhere, but they're in Florida and I had trouble telling what might do well up north as their catalogue descriptions didn't generally include such info. Again, that may have changed, I haven't had a catalogue from them in some years.
