NEW BRUNSWICK, X. J., 



September 1, 1909. 



This is to Certify, That I have this 27th day 

 of August, 1909, inspected the general nursery 

 stock growing on the Monmouth Xurseries, J. T. 

 Lovett, Proprietor, at Little Silver, in Mon- 

 mouth County, X'ew Jersey, and have found the 

 same apparently free from San Jose Scale and 

 other dangerously injurious insect pests; also 

 that the examined stock «eemed healthy. 



I Further Certify, Thit the nursery has a 

 properly constructed house, 16x10x6.8 feet, for 

 fumigating with hydrocyanic acid gas, upon 

 which I have marked the quantity of cyanide of 

 potassium required for an effective charge. 



This certificate expires June 1st, 1910, and 

 covers only stock actually on the nurseries when 

 examined.
