Not to mention the costs of preventing cross polination in order to keep
numerous seed varieties available for us Chile-Heads.  Also, the cost of
building her greenhouse.
buying my plants,

Fred,

I wonder how much it cost her for phytosanitary inspections?

I wonder how much she spends on catalogs and mailing?

I wonder how much it cost for those mailing boxes?

Since she has a business, I wonder how much she has to pay in Federal, state
and local taxes?

I wonder how much she has to pay for heat and electric to grow all those
seedlings?

I wonder how much in property taxes she has to pay?

Just part of the business.

L.B.
