(2) In computing for the purposes of this Order the weight of any carrots, parsnips, or swedes, no account shall be taken of the weight of any foliage that may be attached thereto: Provided that spring carrots and spring parsnips sold during the months of October to January (inclusive) may be weighed and sold with foliage (not exceeding 5 in. in length) attached thereto.

(4) Where delivery is effected by a wholesaler elsewhere than at premises occupied by him, he may add to the appropriate price fixed in accordance with the Schedule hereto the reasonable cost of delivery, not exceeding in any case the cost that would have been incurred by him if delivery had been effected by a common carrier at current freight rates.

Any authority given by the Tribunal under this clause may apply with respect to a specified lot or consignment of vegetables or may relate generally to all vegetables of any kind to which this Order applies sold while the approval remains in force.

11. Every retailer who offers or exposes for sale in any shop any vegetables to which this Order applies shall keep in a prominent position in such proximity to the vegetables to which it relates as to be obviously deceptive thereof a ticket, placard, or label on which shall be stated in legible and prominent characters the retail price per pound of the vegetables.
