(2) No restrictions are placed on the interstate movement of nursery and 
ornamental stock imported from foreign countries when reshipped from the 
port of entry in the unopened original container and labeled as to each con-

SECTION B. CONDITIONS GOVTIRNING THE ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES 
AND PERMITS 
For the purpose of certification of nursery and ornamental stock, nurseries, 
greenhouses, and other premises concerned in the movement of such stock 
v>-ill be classified as follows : 
(1) Class I. — Nurseries, greenhouses, and other premises concerned in the 
movement of nursery and ornamental stock on or within approximately 500 
feet of which no infes^tation has been found may be classified as class I. Upon 
compliance with the recjuirements of subsection (6) of this section, nursery 
and ornamental stock may be certified by the inspector for shipment from such 
premises without further inspection, and without meeting the safeguards pre- 
scribed as a condition of interstate shipment of plants originating in nurseries 
or greenhouses of class III. 
(2) Class III. — (a) Nurseries, greenhouses, and other premises concerned In 
tlie movement of nurserj and ornamental stock on which either grubs in the 
soil or one or more beetles have been found, will be classified as class III. Such 
classification also may be given to nurseries, etc., in localities known to be gen- 
erally infested where one or more beetles or grubs are found in the immediate 
proximity (within approximately 500 feet) of such nurseries, etc., on adjacent 
property or properties. In the case of nursery properties, under single owner- 
ship and management, but represented by parcels of land widely separated, 
such parcels may be independently classified either as class I or class III upon 
compliance with such ct>nditions and safeguards as shall be required by the 
inspector. Similarly, unit nursery properties, which would otherwise fall in 
class III, may be open to subdivision, for the purpose of rating such sub- 
divisions in classes I or III when, in the judgment of the inspector, such 
action is warranted by recent and scanty infestation limited to a portion of 
the nursery concerned : Provided. That the subdivision containing the infesta- 
tion shall be clearly marked by boundaries of a permanent nature which shall 
be approximately 500 feet beyond the point where the infestation occurs. 
(&) Upon compliance with subsections (3) and (6) of this section, nursery 
and ornamental stock may be certified by the inspector for shipment from such 
premises under any one of the following conditions: (i) That the roots shall 
be treated by means approved by the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quar- 
antine in manner and by method satisfactory to the inspector; or (/() in the 
case of plants in which the root system is such that a thorough inspection
