Jerry,
I use regular Paraplast or I have used Richard Allan Type 6 to embed leaves 
and stems from plants like alfalfa and even cactus spines. For seeds you 
might want to use a harder paraffin. I checked in Ruzin's, Plant 
Microtechnique and Microscopy and he doesn't suggest any one brand of paraffin.
