I need to find a source, either online or in print, for extensive
tables listing different types of foods and showing their argenine and
lysine content. Hopefully it would show differences, such as whole
wheate v white bread, etc.

Hello,

I've found a pretty extensive list of foods which list the Argenine
and Lysine concentrations as well as the ratio of one to another.
Please don't be put off by the url, it's on a Herpes Nutrition
website:

Thank you for your question!

After the fact, here, I realize these lists are pretty limited. 
Aren't there any more extensive data lists that show info for foods as
basic as, say, carrots?   The USDA lists seem to be taken right from
the Betty Crocker cookbook (or product list)  . . .   I need info on
things like sunflower seeds, quinoa, etc.  more along the lines of
health foods.   If you can find this, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.

thanks to both answerer and commenter

Hi timespacette-ga,

Here are links to three extensive tables showing the Arginine and
Lysine content for a variety of foods.
