Market Farming

I ordered a Fedco catalog on the basis of earlier discussions in this 
group. I was very impressed with their extensive selection.  However, I was 
very surprised when I compared their prices with Johnny's prices for some 
of the greens I grow:
                 Fedco     Johnny's
                 ------    --------
Mizuna            $ 36/#    $18/#
Tatsoi              30/#     19.35/#
Royal Oak lettuce   30(1/4#)  5.74 (1/4#)   
Red Giant Mustard   36/#      27.55/#
Bull's Blood Beets  60/#      37/# approx
Forellenshluss      20(1/4#)  13.30(1/4#)
Paris Island Cos    $5(1/4#)   6.05(1/4#)

Maybe greens aren't their strong area.  I noted prices as I came upon seeds 
that I use; didn't just post those that were high.  With only one 
exception, Johnny's had better prices.
