I don't know how prices are running now; but in 2004 I bought certified 
organic pepper and eggplant transplants at 7.75 per flat of 48 plants. 
I provided the seed.

Since then I've been starting my own, so couldn't tell you; prices are 
probably up, everything else is. I also don't know how much prices vary 
for conventional versus organic, or whether they vary in different 
parts of the country (heating costs for greenhouses here can be 
considerable).
