If you want pure strain seeds, you have to go the the source of the developer of that strain..i.e. if you want Bhut Jolokia, you need to get them from NMSU CPI...they are the ones that grew them and had them tested...if you want Dorset Naga, you need to get them from the growers in England, I think their name is peppers by post or something like that..
you can get pure strains in trades I suppose, but unless I isolate a few plants (read farm them out to neighbors that don't grow peppers), I either tell the people that I trade with the source of the seeds or tell them they have not been isolated...I am growing a lot of plants this year from my last year seeds and so far, most of them are true to type...mostly 7 pots, scorpions, and naga morich...
I buy most of my seeds from Peppermania, Burpee, and Tomato Growers new each season and what I have left over is what I usually trade..
