The two best resources I know are
Seed Savers Exchange (Diane is still there)
http://www.seedsavers.org/

and 

Native Seeds Search http://www.nativeseeds.org/
though not your climate, it is a great resource! Bill McDorman is very knowledgeable and tapped in.

and you might also try contacting Renee Shepherd.

Subject: [GWL] Seed Question

Hello, Everyone!

This list has been very quiet, but maybe I can change that...

Last season, one of what I thought was an ordinary Waltham Butternut squash 
plant produced ginormous specimens that measured more than 14" and and several 
pounds each. We saved the seeds to see if they would come true in 2013 and 
indeed they did. I shared the seeds with other gardeners/testers and they also 
had the same results. So now I think I may have something to sell to one of the 
seed companies.

I have no clue how to do this, where to start, etc. Anyone have any experience 
with this? It's easy to make a phone call to a place like Johnny's, for example, 
but  after that, there's the shark pool!

Thanks, as always,

Lorraine
