Yep, Bear Creek was one I was thinking of, specifically, in my first response.  Believe that their low prices were a prime contributor to their demise.

I hope they stay in business--one of my favorite nurseries-- Bear Creek ---went under sometime ago--perhaps their prices were too low--they were very inexpensive and had a good selection .

Yeah, they used to offer more seed-grown ornamentals, in addition to edibles.

I bought some native deciduous magnolias(Bigleaf, Cucumbertree, Umbrella, etc.) and Yellowwood seedlings from OIKOS years ago.

I just looked at the catalog for Oikos-it is now miniscule in its offerings in comparison to what it was a while ago. I bought the white Nanking cherries in 2006 from a long list of fruit plants.
