To Nurserymen 



All growing nursery stock in the state will 

 be inspected annually and if round free from 

 injurious insect or fungous pests there will 

 be issued to the owner a certificate of in- 

 spection, which certificate will expire Sep- 

 tember 1. 1912. 



Every car, box. bundle or package must 

 have attached a copy of said certificate of in- 

 spection before shipment or delivery. 



All nursery stock found growing within 

 one-half mile of areas infested with San Jose 

 scale must be properly fumigated as required 

 by the regulations of this department before 

 shipment or delivery. 



Any nursery stock received from points 

 within the state of New York must not be 

 sold or delivered unless it bears a valid cer- 

 tificate of inspection on arrival. 



Any nursery stock brought into the state 

 must remain unpacked or unopened until per- 

 mission is given by the Commissioner of Ag- 

 riculture or his duly authorized representa- 

 tive. To facilitate rapid inspection receivers 

 of nursery stock should notify the depart- 

 ment office at Albany or an authorized in- 

 spector of the receipt or expected receipt of 

 such consignment, giving the name and ad- 

 dress of consignor and dates. 



No nursery stock shall be shipped or deliv- 

 ered unless there is positive evidence that it 

 has been inspected and certified by authority 

 of the Commissioner of Agriculture. 



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. 



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. 1912. Xo certificate will be 

 granted on a final inspection made earlier 

 than August 1. 1911. 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 

 special certificate of inspection. Transporta- 

 tion companies class cuttings as nursery 

 stock and require copies of inspection certi- 

 ficates.
