Information 



The state is divided into districts and the 

 nurseries are under the constant care of in- 

 spectors of the department. During the ship- 

 ping season it is the duty of the department 

 to cause an inspection of all nursery stock 

 from points outside the state. All trees in- 

 fested with San Jose scale or other injurious 

 insects, and all trees and plants infected with 

 fungous diseases, crown gall or galls on the 

 roots, must be destroyed or returned to the 

 shippers. 



The Commissioner of Agriculture exempts 

 from fumigation all herbaceous plants, con- 

 ifers, greenhouse plants, flowers and cut- 

 tings, but this does not refer to stock that 

 may distribute injurious pests. Certificates 

 issued by this department will be valid until 

 September 1, 1914. No certificate will be 

 granted on a final inspection made earlier 

 than August 1, 1913, and the most important 

 inspection work will be done after August 

 1, and continue throughout the year wher- 

 ever it is found necessary, 



Vineyardists who make a business of sell- 

 ing cuttings, and small fruit growers, who do 

 no general nursery business, will receive a 

 snecial certificate of inspection. Transporta- 

 tion companies class cuttings as nursery 

 stock and require copies of inspection certi- 

 ficates. 



Duplicate certificates of inspection will be 

 furnished by the department for filing in the 

 offices of the states requiring them, as fol- 

 lows: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, 

 Towa, Kentucky, L«ouisiana, Maryland, Mas- 

 sachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, North Car- 

 olina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Car- 

 olina, Tennessee. Texas, Virginia, Wiscon- 

 sin and Wyoming. To avoid delay and pos- 

 sible loss of stock, no nurseryman should 

 ship to another state, without first having 

 learned the requirements of that, state.
