The following Resolutions were passed after careful discussion: — 



Resolution I. 



Whereas the Woolly Aphis is an insect widely distributed through the 

 Province of Quebec; Whereas the aforesaid insect is not considered a 

 noxious pest by our fruit-growers and entomologists; And Whereas in 

 Ontario and many of the States nurseries are not inspected for Woolly 

 Aphis: — 



It is Recommended that the Provincial inspector do not strictly en- 

 force the Noxious Pests Act with regard to the Woolly Aphis in nurseries, 

 and that he furnish a certificate permitting the shipment of nursery stock 

 free from Woolly Aphis even where a few trees are found infested in a 

 nursery.
