The following seed companies and nurseries sell heirloom and rare or endangered varieties of vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs. In some catalogues, the heirloom varieties are noted as such, but in others they are not, so you have to know what you are looking for.

All prices are in Canadian funds unless specified. The U.S. seed companies listed here will send seeds to Canada, but usually cannot ship living plants, bulbs, potatoes, etc across the border.

Since some U.S. banks charge a large fee to cash non-U.S. cheques, many U.S. seed companies cannot accept cheques from Canadian banks. It is often best to make your payments with money orders instead.
