Last year, I found an online source for "Red Creole" onions. Unfortunately,
certain of its business practices I find a little off-putting. Although, I'll
save seeds, there's the "meantime" before flowering. The only other online seed
source I've found is requesting U$ 8.99 for 25 seeds; not for me, that. Can
anybody offer any guidance to a US source for these seeds? Anybody hoarding
seeds he'll part with (in return for cash, of course). I'm appreciative of any
information but a link to "let me google that for you" simply will put you on
the lifetime twit list as a self-identified butthead.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The list is very much appreciated! I guess
I shouldn't admit it, but Baker Creek are the folks I'd just as soon not
continue to patronize. I hasten to point out, though, that my peculiarity
definitely SHOULD NOT influence anyone else's decision: I am a notorious
curmudgeon. I certainly cannot fault the selection, the quality or the service.
Definitely shall follow up on the other leads!

Burpee sells them. Walmart sells Burpee seeds. Have you looked there?

No; I haven't been in a Walmart for years. My last experience with
Wallyworld seeds was their private "BH&G" label. They were a straight ripoff. I
drive by Walmart to buy my cheap Chinese crap from local merchants whenever
possible or from competing chain stores. Thanks for the tip, though; I may ease
into the garden shop end of the store and check it out.
