STATE OF DELAWARE—STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE 
Certificate of ursery Inspection 
Dover, Del., September 1, 1933 
To Whom It May Concern: 
This certifies that I have this day examined the nursery stock and premises of the General 
Nurseries of Buntings’ Nurseries, at Selbyville, Sussex County, Delaware, and that said nursery 
stock is apparently free from crown gall, peach yellows, peach rosette, the San Jose scale, and 
all other plant diseases and insects of a seriously dangerous nature, that may be transferred on 
nursery stock. 
This certificate may be revoked by the State Board of Agriculture for cause, and it is in¬ 
valid after August 31, 1934 and does not include nursery stock not grown on the above named 
premises unless such stock is covered by certificate of a State or Government officer and accepted 
by the State Board of Agriculture.

Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants are apart in the rows, and 
the product will be the number of square feet for each plant or hill, which, divided into the number of 
square feet in an acre (43,560) will give the number of plants or trees to an acre.
