the scale is breeding and is capable of
being communicated to the nursery,
certainly as late as November. A cer
tificate issued upon an early inspection,
therefore, would give little or no assur
ance of the absence of scale from the
nursery, particularly where it is located
in an infested neighborhood.

More
over, June budded peach trees will not
have made sufficient growth to admit
of a satisfactory inspection before Oc
tober. It is clear, too, that inseot inju
ries and disease effects are more con
spicuous near the close.of the growing
season.
A certificate at best does not give un
qualified evidence of the entire absence
of seriously in jurious inspcts and dis
eases. It is proposed, therefore, to
make the inspections under the most
favorable conditions and to make sup
plemental inspections after the stock is
dug, whether the surroundings are such
as to cause suspicion. As complete an
assurance as possible of the cleanliness
of the stock is thus obtained, and it is
hoped tba,t there maybe established,
thereby, a>confidence in the.products of
the Georgia nurseries equally advanta
geous to the nurserymen and of char d-
ists.;
Some nurserymen have a careless habit
of leaving old, unsalable stock heeled in
on their yards from year to year. This
practice affords a harboring place for
insects and diseases and we strongly
condemn it* A case iii point: Last year
the writer, found San Jose scale m a
bunch of old stock heeled in on tiie yard ,
of one of our nurserymen; and, al
though no scale could be found in the
nursery blocks, the regular certificate
could not be issued to the owner.
Whenever such conditions are found
our certificate will be whithheld until
they are corrected.
Aside from the San Jose scale the
following are on the board’s list of dan
gerously injurious pests: The new
peach, scale, black knot,, peach yellows,
peach aud plum rosette. None of these
have yet been found in any of the nur
series, but with the exception of the
yellows they all oocur in the state to a
slight extent, and are carefully looked
for when the inspections arc made.
Last year 70 nurseries were inspected,
four of which where found infested
with San Jose scale, and from the
owners of which the regular inspection
certificate was withheld. It should be
clearly understood here that no nursery
man whose premises are found infested
can obtain thq -regular certificate. A
nurseryman, a portion of whose prem
ises is infested, but in such a man
ner as not to endanger the remaind
er, may be given a special cer
tificate; provided, however, that all
stock growing in the infested portion
■hall be destroyed and the remainder

runagate a unaer our personal supervis

cated in a scale infested neighborhood,
even though no scale can be found on
the nursery grounds, fumigation will be
required and a certificate will be given
to the owner of such a nursery only
upon the Conditions expressed in writing
that he will fumigate every plant before
it is sent out. This requirement is based
upon the following rule of the rules and
regulations adopted by the Board of
Entomology Jan. 18, 1899:
Rule 9.—The state entomologist shall
have power to require any nurseryman
of the state to fumigate his stock with
hydrocyanic acid gas when in his judg
ment the presence of any pest in the
nursery or in the neighborhood of the
nursery warrants such treatment for the
better protection of the agricultural in
terests of the state. Upon failure of any
Upon failure of any
individual, firm or corporation to com
ply with this requirement, the state
entomologist is hereby authorized to
withhold his certificate from the same.
Some of our nurserymen, even though
not compelled to meet the above require
ment, have voluntarily adopted the
plan of fumigating all stock (including
buds ana grafts) grown or handled by
them. We most urgently advise all
