SOUTHERN NURSERYMEN’S ASSOCIATION REPORT 
195 
The following is the report of committee: 
COMMITTEE REPORT ON UNIFORM NURSERY INSPECTION REGU¬ 
LATIONS, FOR DECIDUOUS NURSERY STOCK 
Your committee appointed for the purpose of looking into the matter of attempting 
at least the formulation of Nursery Inspection Regulations that may be adopted by 
all the states of the union with the idea of simplifying things, called into their session 
yesterday Mr. Lewis, State Entomologist of Georgia, Mr. Bentley, State Entomolo¬ 
gist of Tennessee and Mr. Starcher, State Horticulturist of Alabama. After a full 
discussion it is our opinion that the following regulations could be adopted by all the 
states: 
1. All inspection certificates to expire August 31 of each year. 
2. All nurseries must be equipped for fumigating, or dipping, or must fumigate, under 
permit, with some one who has proper fumigation or dipping equipment, and 
must fumigate or dip all nursery stock subject to San Jose Scale, and Aphis 
attack, when required by state laws or requested by purchaser. 
3. A printed copy of certificate of inspection must be attached to each shipment, 
said certificate to be printed on shipping tags. 
4. All shipments must be marked to show names and addresses of consignor and 
consignee. 
5. Attached to each container of shipments of nursery stock a certificate of fumiga¬ 
tion or dipping when said shipments have been fumigated or dipped. 
6. A duplicate copy of certificate of inspection must be filed by all nurseries with the 
official State Entomologist or other designated officer in each state. 
7. A statement that the nursery is equipped for fumigating or dipping, or has made 
arrangements for this work under permit with some one properly equipped, must 
be filed with each State Entomologist, or other designated official. 
8. The importation of five leaved pines be prohibited. 
9. The importation of currants and gooseberries be prohibited, except by special 
permit. 
10. The importation of citrus stock be prohibited, except as provided for by citrus 
regulations. 
11. That hardy greenhouse stock be included in the regulations. 
12. The importation of barberries except as permitted by Federal Horticultural 
Board be prohibited. 
13. That the license fee either for nurseries within the state or outside the state be 
eliminated. 
14. That the Southern Nurserymen’s Association pledge itself to aid in every possible 
way the passage of the necessary state laws providing ample funds for the sup¬ 
port of the entomological work in each state. 
Respectfully submitted,

1. All inspection certificates to expire August 31 of each year. 
A date not later than September 15 should be agreeable to all states, if August 
31 is too early. Quantities of coniferous evergreens are moved in August. The 
earlier date is more convenient for the trade on account of delay in getting their 
printed matter.
