I think I am going to order some bulbs from here: http://www.egardenersplace.com/, Has any of you ever ordered anything from one of these companies before? Or another online place thats nice.

I know the neighbors order from MZ Bulb but I have never herd of roots and rhymzones. I also got a catolouge from http://www.hpsseed.com/ last year but ordered nothing and thinking about doing that this year. All these have fair prices for things that I dont want to spend tons of money on.

I normally order from Territorial Seed but I have noticed I pay a lot and get very little from them.

I usually purchase my bulbs/iris, etc. locally, but frequently buy my seed online. I like Parks, Stokes, Pinetree (superseeds), Swallowtail, and was also pleasantly surprised with valueseeds for some common annual seeds, cheap.

I've not tried the websites you mentioned. The companies listed on the site I *believe*are all affiliated with Jung seeds, hence the hint at a reduced/combined shipping rate.

What I like to do is search 'company name' reviews, and see what comes up. I also take into consideration the size of the company, 'recent' reviews and the fact that many people seem to post reviews if they have a complaint rather than a compliment (not always, but commonly)

You may want to try a small purchase from a company and see how things go. Sometimes it depends on what you order from certain companies, or your expectations for the price.
