That's true for potted plants in the late spring, but I have seen "Wonderful" sold bare-root for $9.99 at big-box stores and $12.99 at independent and chain nurseries in December-February.

Harvey, I'm not a member of a CRFG chapter, but I do belong to the parent organization. Concerning copyrights, it is my personal experience that the CRFG Fruit Gardener magazine has always been respectful of the law and been generous with granting reprint permissions.
