 takes advantage of this plan under- 

 stands fully and exactly the conditions 

 he subscribes to. The rule of the Ad- 

 ministration regarding consumers' sub- 

 stitutes is one pound of substitutes with 

 each pound of flour, and the consumer 

 is to use them in that proportion. 

 These sheets are not to be used for sales 

 under any other conditions than those 

 specified above. 



Such credit will not be allowed to 

 customers who have on hand potatoes of 

 their own raising, since the inclusion of 

 potatoes among the permissible substi- 

 tutes is a temporary emergency per- 

 mission granted only where cereal sub- 

 stitutes are not to be had.

Retail Prices on Vegetable Seeds 



The following table has been compiled 

 from a large number of retail mail order 

 catalogs received from representative 

 seedsmen. The prices given after each 

 crop represent retail prices of standard 

 varieties for 1918, and for the same 

 varieties in 1917. So-called novelties 

 were not included because their prices 

 would disturb normal comparisons. It 

 will be seen that all prices in 1918 are 

 higher than those in 1917. The increases 

 range from about 5 per cent on celery up 

 to 2fi0 per cent on Swede turnips. The 

 average increase in catalog prices on all 

 the vegetable crops listed as shown by 

 this table is about GO per cent. 



A study of the catalogs shows that 

 some seedsmen have endeavored to main- 

 tain prices on many items approximate- 

 ly the same as or but slightly above 

 those of last year, while other seedsmen 

 have raised their prices materially on 

 practically all items.
