You can get them at... 

http://www.charleysgreenhouse.com/224-405-Propagation---Plug-Trays.HTm

http://www.johnnyseeds.com/c-451-cell-flats.aspx

or even www.amazon.com or eBay if you don't want a whole case of 50 flats.

A google search for "plug flat" or "cell flat"  should pull up some others

>Soil plugs are really only usefule if you get near 100% germination.  Even then germ will be erratic as we all know. Empty cells and seedlings growing at different rates and sizes will cause some plugs to stay wetter than others and invite fungus gnats = disaster for your survival rate.
