Nursery Inspection and Certification 



The inspection of Greenhouses, garden centers, and nurseries 

 proceeded at its normal pace and although the nursery inspection crew 

 finished up on the 15th, the actual finishing date was the 25th of 

 September, 



A total of 458 establishments had been inspected and issued 



growers certificates by the 25th of September and a breakdown of these 



nurseries is as follows: 



Type of Plant Stock No^ of Establishments App, Acreage 



General (Deciduous 



Evergreen, Perennial) 370 2,356 



Berry (Blueberry 



Raspberry, Strawberry) 26 83,5 



Dahlia & Gladiolus 13 51 3/4 



Greenhouse 49 - - - 



Total 458 2,491 1/4 



An additional 22 nurseries wer« inspected and certified during 

 the period from September 25th to the end of the fiscal year. 



It is interesting to note the wealth of information that is 

 gathered and put on the inspection report cards that come into the office. 

 These reports contain not only the name and address of the nursery and 

 its owner, but such information as the nature of the inspection, conditions 

 found, type of certificate to be issued, kinds of nursery stock grown and 

 the acreage. Under conditions found are listed the kinds and amounts of 

 insects and diseases found,
