It should be noted that besides the Boston office, we have 

 inspectors stationed in Waltham and Hadley to give the quickest

 inspection of the plants for insects and diseases immediately prior 

 to shipping. 



In many cases there are special statements that need to be 

 added to the certificate in order to allov; the plants entry into a 

 particular country. These statements usually are made to certify 

 freedom from a particular insect or disease. 



The following list gives a breakdown of shipments made to
