Indiana Berry & Plant Co
Krohne Plant Farms
Nourse
Schlabach's Nursery
Pinetree Garden Seeds

all have Sparkle, though I don't see Black Satin. I have ordered at  
one time or another from all of them except maybe Krohne's, and have  
found them reliable.

I and others I know have had very erratic quality from Miller's. I've  
never ordered anything from Burgess, but they have somewhat more  
negative than positive ratings at Dave's Garden.
