side thereof unless and until a certificate or permit shall have been issued there- 
for by an inspector, except that as to such movement wholly within the generally 
infested gypsy moth area or wholly within the lightly infested gypsy moth area, 
or from the lightly infested to the generally infested gypsy moth area, a valid 
State nursery-inspection certificate of the State from which the shipment is made 
may be substituted for such Federal certificate or permit. 
(4) Shipments within regulated areas unrestricted. — Other than as prescribed 
in paragraph (3) hereof, and in regulation 9, no restrictions are placed by these 
regulations on the interstate movement of restricted articles wholly within the 
generally infested area or wholly within the lightly infested area or from the 
lightly infested area to the generally infested area. 
(5) Gut flowers and greenhouse-grown plants. — In the case of woody plants 
which are grown in the greenhouse throughout the year, the plants themselves 
and the cut flowers thereof may be shipped interstate without inspection or 
certification under these regulations on condition that each box or package 
thereof is plainly labeled to show that the contents were greenhouse grown. 
(6) Herbaceous plants unrestricted. — No restrictions are placed by these reg- 
ulations on the interstate movement of strawberry plants, or of other herbaceous 
annual or perennial plants or parts thereof. 
Regulation 6. Conditions Governing the Issuance of Certiitcates 
(a) Application; assembly of articles for inspection. — Persons intending to 
move or allow to be moved restricted articles interstate shall make application 
therefor as far as possible in advance of the probable date of shipment. Appli- 
cations must show the nature and quantity of the plants or plant products or 
stone or quarry products it is proposed to move, together with their exact loca- 
tion, and, if practicable, the contemplated date of shipment. Applicants for in- 
spection will be required to assemble or indicate the articles to be shipped so 
that they can be readily examined by the inspector. If not so placed, inspection 
will be refused. Articles to be inspected must be free from ice and snow and in 
condition to make inspection easily practicable, 
(6) Nursery-grown stock. — With respect to nursery-grown stock, Federal in- 
spection and the issuance of Federal certificates authorizing the interstate move- 
ment of nursery products will be conditioned on the presentation of a valid 
State certificate stating that the nursery in question has been inspected by a 
State nursery inspector and certifying that it is apparently free from infestation 
with gypsy and brown-tail moths. Such State certification shall be renewed each 
year, shall be based on an inspection made as promptly as practicable after the 
egg-laying' period of the gypsy moth, and shall be valid for the purpose of 
Federal certification, until the following egg-hatching period, except that, pend- 
ing reinspection, shipments may be inspected and certified for interstate move- 
ment on the basis of the State certification of the preceding year. Whenever 
any nursery or independent unit thereof in the regulated area, or any shipment 
therefrom, is reported by a State inspector to be appreciably infested with either 
the gypsy moth or the brown-tail moth, or whenever such infestation is deter- 
mined by a Federal inspector on his examination of material offered for ship- 
ment, further certification for interstate movement from such nursery, or inde- 
pendent unit thereof, will be refused until such nursery has been freed from 
infestation and has been again inspected and certified by the State to be appar- 
ently clean. During the larval period of the gypsy moth all nursery stock shall 
be assembled for the examination of the Federal inspector, and if passed by him 
as free from any infestation, either by egg masses or wind-blown larvae, it may 
then be lined up and thoroughly sprayed under the direction of and in manner 
and method satisfactory to the said inspector, who will certify each shipment 
as having been thus inspected and treated. 
(c) Native trees and shrubs. — With respect to living trees and plants not 
grown in nurseries, inspection and certification for interstate movement will be 
conditioned upon the presentation of a statement by the applicant indicating 
the exact source of such trees and plants, and in addition to such statement, if 
dug on land other than the property of the applicant, a permit from the owner 
of the said land authorizing such digging, provided such permit is required 
under the law of the State wherein the land is situated. If the inspection of 
the trees or plants intended for shipment discloses infestation with either the 
gypsy moth or brown-tail moth, certification will be refused as to the intended 
shipment and as to other similar shipments of trees or plants originating on 
the same property or in the same locality.
