VEGETABLE SEED CEILING PRICES 
Effective as of December 4, 1943, O. P. A. issued Regu- 
lation M. P. R. 496 which established retail ceiling prices on 
a number of Vegetable Seeds. You should apply to your lo- 
cal O. P. A. Board for a copy promptly, so as to have it to 
study before you begin to sell seeds.° 
The maximum prices for one pound quantities of all 
varieties of Beans, Peas, and Sweet Corn are as follows:— 
Beans — 50c, Peas (smooth varieties) —45c, Peas (wrink- 
led varieties) —50c, Sweet Corn (open pollinated) — 45c, 
Sweet Corn (yellow hybrids) — 70c, and Sweet Corn (white 
hybrids) — 75c. You can sell a pound for as much less than 
these prices as you desire, but you may not charge more 
according to the Regulation. Quantities of less than one-half 
pound are exempt from these maximum prices. For arriv- 
ing at the price to charge for amounts over one pound, you 
must be guided by the prices you charged for a like amount 
cetween January first and May thirty-first, 1943. If, for 
example, you sold thirty pounds of Beans for five cents less 
than the pound rate last spring, you would be expected to 
sell on the same basis this spring. 
Maximum prices on the other vegetable seeds that have 
had the ceiling price fixed works out a little differently. 
Key varieties have been selected, and upon these key varie- 
ties you are expected to base the price for other varieties 
of that kind, using the same difference you had last spring, 
(Jan. 1 - May 31). Fraction of pounds are priced according 
to the base price of one pound for that fraction, and bring- 
ing it to the next even 5 cent figure. For example, if 
the base price was $2.12 a pound, the quarter pound price 
would be 55c, the ounce price 15c. Packets and quantities 
of less than one-half ounce are exempt from the maximum 
price. 
The key varieties and the maximum prices permitted, 
upon which all other varieties of that kind are based are:—

(The above prices are for one pound) 
Upon all other varieties of vegetables (like Celery, Egg 
Plant, Musk Melon, Pepper, Radish, Spinach, etc.) there has 
not been any maximum price set so far aS we are aware. 
To determine your price for sale of any variety, com- 
pare the pound price you sold at last year, (Jan. 1 -May 31) 
with the base given above. If, for example, you sold Purple 
Top White Globe for $1.00 last year, and you decide to go 
to the ceiling this year ($1.50), you would add 50 cents a 
pound to your last year’s prices, and figure out the fraction 
of pound prices as stated in the third paragraph above. This 
same procedure should be followed on all other kinds and 
varieties which have the base price established. 
If you did not sell the variety listed last season, then 
the nearest similar variety may be used. Except that if Co- 
penhagen Market Cabbage was not sold, then Danish Ball 
Head is to be used as the base on Cabbage. If Southport 
Yellow Globe Onion was not sold, then Yellow Sweet Span- 
ish is to be used as the base. Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce 
is the base for all varieties of head, leaf and cos Lettuce 
except the New York and Imperial types which have their 
own base as listed. 
You are urged to prepare and keep on file a list of 
your maximum prices, and use care not to charge more 
than the ceilings so established. As we stated in the begin- 
ning, lower prices than the ceiling or maximum prices are 
permissible, and you may find it necessary to have such 
lower prices in order to meet competition on some kinds 
and varieties. 
It should be borne in mind that all of the foregoing is 
only our interpretation of the Regulation, and it is not 
official in any way. We could be wrong in our understanding 
of the rules and statements as given in the Regulation. We 
have merely tried to give you a brief summary and some 
sort of an idea regarding the Regulation. Study your own 
copy, and with the information we have suggested, you 
should be able to arrive at your own ceiling prices. 
Ceiling prices have been placed on some other items in 
which you may be interested, so when you ask for a copy 
of M. P. R. 496 on Vegetable Seeds, it would not be amiss 
if you aiso asked to have copies of M. P. R. 371 on Onion 
Sets, M. P. R. 471 on Clover and Grass seed, and M. P. R. 
492 on Seed Potatoes.
