Johnny’s in Maine has high quality control, as does Harris. They both cater to farms but offer retail volume too. Personally I find Johnnys higher priced, but they are good to work with in the Northeast.
Check out Holmes and Rupp (I’ll bet they are both run by conservatives) and finally Tomato Growers for an unmatched tomato list.

Home Garden Packet is one dollar each plus one dollar handling.

Used some Jicama seeds from them—still need a green thumb.

I second the vote for Johnny’s in Maine.

They grow all their own seeds, and I have found them to be much more reliable than many of the other big seed companies. You can’t go wrong with them.

I can’t find short day sweet corn other than via the Hawaiian sources. Ideas?

If you want some very compact and wonderful tomatoes try the Brandyfred:

The Lowes in N Texas have a good selection of regular seed, non-GMO seed, and organic seed. Try your area.

Pinetree Seeds is pretty good. Pretty good selection, decent prices and prompt shipping. I bought a bunch of seed from them last year and it all did very well except for the Minicore carrots. Don't know what happened to them, maybe it was my fault.

Parks. They always did good by me when I had a garden. If you are ever near Greenwood, SC, Stop in the facility.

I really like this company, they have never done me wrong, have ordered from them for nearly 30 years. Small quantities or large, and they don’t jack up the prices. You should order your seeds early from them though because they have run short of some things when I order late:

I get stuff from Pinetree Garden Seeds. For unusual stuff there is Seed Savers. Pinetree has my two favorite tomato seeds - - Opalka, very delicious, very meaty, paste type, perfect for roasting and freezing, and Brandywine. They work in Northeast PA. Opalka was the best performer in our cold and wet summer of 2016.
