114 LAWS AGAINST INJURIOUS INSECTS. 



Certificates of inspection will not be issued covering the stock or the premises 

 upon which nursery stock is grown, if any of the insect pests or plant diseases 

 named in the above-mentioned act are found to be present thereon, until all 

 infested or infected trees, shrubs, plants, and vines have been treated as pre- 

 scribed by the division of nursery and orchard inspection of the Ohio depart- 

 ment of agriculture. If San Jose scale or peach yellows are found, the affected 

 trees, slirubs, plants, and vines must be destroyed, and, as an additional pre- 

 caution, if San Jose scale is found in the nursery or in dangerous proximity 

 thereto, fumigation of the stock will be required. Said fumigation will be con- 

 ducted under the direction of an assistant inspector. 



After certificates of inspection have been granted should any trees, shrubs, 

 plants, or vines be found to be infected by crown gall or other dangerous plant 

 disease or diseases, or infested with insects affecting the roots, the same must 

 be burned by the nurserymen, and failure to comply with this regulation may be 

 deemed sufficient cause for the revocation of said certificates. 



Applications for certificates of fumigation must be made on special blanks, 

 which will be furnished on request. Such certificates will be granted after the 

 regular nursery inspection has been made and the requirements of the division 

 of nursery and orchard inspection have been complied with, and in all cases the 

 stock will be fumigated under the immediate supervision of an assistant 

 inspector, as is required by law. 



All potassium cyanide for fumigating purposes will be furnished through this 

 office at cost, put up in charges ready for use. Fumigating houses should be 

 thoroughly repaired before the inspection is made. 



For the convenience of nurserymen doing business in other States, duplicate 

 certificates will be issued on request and sent to the official inspectors in the 

 States where such are required to be filed. 



Nurserymen and growers are cautioned to allow no stock to be sent out from 

 their grounds unless accompanied with copies of their certificates for the cur- 

 rent year, as provided by law.
