Abstract: This report presents prices and price spreads for Washington Red Delicious apples. Florida grapefruit, California Thompson Seedless grapes, California lemons, Florida oranges, California Navel oranges and California Valencia oranges all sold fresh in four markets each for five marketing seasons — 1962/63 to 1966/67. Seasonal average prices, both retail and shipping point (grower and packer return), declined for Florida grapefruit, Florida oranges, California Navel oranges, and California Valencia oranges during the marketing seasons covered in this report. In contrast, prices increased for Thompson Seedless grapes and Washington Red Delicious apples. Prices remained practically unchanged for California lemons. The total price spread between shipping point and retail decreased for Florida grapefruit, Florida oranges, California Valencia oranges, and Washington Red Delicious apples; increased for Thompson Seedless grapes; and remained practically unchanged for California Navel oranges and California lemons.
