I assume that by corn you mean maize.

Johnny's Selected Seeds, Bountiful Gardens and probably Abundant Life (haven't
seen this year's catalog) offer open pollinated corn.  Also excellent
varieties from R.H. Shumway, though the strains are not always pure.  For a
much bigger selection, join Kent Whealy's Seed Savers Exchange.  If you don't
want to be a member, or don't want to wait for their catalog, get their book,
GARDEN SEED INVENTORY, Fourth Edition.  That has so many listings that they
have divided offerings into Corn/Dent (64), Corn/Flint  (47), Corn/Four (62),
Corn/Pop (46), Corn/Sweet  (63), Corn/Other (17).  The figure in parentheses
is the number of VARIETIES offered.  Suppliers are listed for each of these
open pollinated varieties.
