PERMIT NECFSSARY TO IMPORT NURSERY STOCK

of the stock in the foreign country. The permit is retained by the importer 
for use in connection with the arrival of the shipment. 
CERTIFICATION OF INSPECTION 
Every shipment of nursery stock originating in the United States and entering 
Canada either by freight, express, or mail, must be accompanied by a certificate 
of inspection issued at the time of packing by an authorized official, either State 
or Federal. So-called blanket certificates, issued by State inspectors, based on 
field inspection only and issued for varying periods of time, are not acceptable. 
The original certificate must accompany the waybill or bill of lading and be fur- 
nished to the inspector at the port of importation by the transportation company. 
A copy certificate of inspection must be .attached to each container. In the case 
of mail shipments the original certificate may be attached to the container.

inspection, must be clearly marked with the name and address of both consignor
