(1) It shall be unlawful to sell or offer for sale uninspected or
uncertified nursery stock. A certificate of inspection indicates free-
dom from certain injurious insects and plant diseases but does not
vouch for trueness to variety nor for grade and condition of any
nursery stock.
(2) Growers of nursery stock, for sale or shipment, shall apply
in writing before june 1st of each year to the State Entomologist,
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station, Lexington, for inspection
services.
(3) Every dealer in nursery stock shall secure a nursery dealer’s
permit. Before this is issued, however, he must furnish an affidavit
that he will buy and sell only stock that is certified and will maintain

 \
INs1·1;crioN or Nuusuuv Srocx, 1949-50 7
with the State Entomologist a correct and complete list of all sources
from which he gets his stock. Landscape architects and tree movers
who handle nursery stock are classified as dealers.
  Every person who solicits orders for nursery stock shall ob- _
tain and carry an agent’s permit which is secured only upon request .
I of the nurseryman or dealer to be represented.
  All packages or bundles of nursery stock shipped by common
carrier must have attached a copy of the inspection certificate or
permit.
(6) Certificates and permits may be revoked for cause.
(7) Fees shall be paid as follows: Inspection certificate $5; I
dealer’s permit, $5. Agents’ permits and nonresident nursery1nen’s
certificates are furnished without cost. Fees shall accompany appli-
cation. Application blanks may be obtained from the State Entomolo- Q
gist.
(8) Nonresident nurserymen shall file copies of their state cer-
tificates and secure nonresident permits. Every package of nursery
stock coming into Kentucky shall have a valid inspection certificate
attached to the package. Nonresident nurserymen, dealers, and ·
agents shall carry their Kentucky permits when soliciting orders or `
delivering nursery stock in Kentucky.
(9) All certificates and permits automatically expire june SI)
following date of issuance. _
"NURSERY STOCK" DEFINED
Nursery stock includes all trees, shrubs, vines; roses, strawberry,
raspberry, and blackberry plants; herbaceous perennial plants and
roots; ornamental bulbs, corms, tubers, and rhizomes; and any part
_ of the above groups of plants capable of disseminating injurious _
insects and plant diseases. For regulatory purposes the term "Nursery
Stock” includes all plants which grow out of doors and live more
than one year, whether nursery grown or native.
REQUIREMENTS FOR SHIPMENT OF NURSERY STOCK
INTO OTHER STATES
A summary of the major requirements for shipping nursery stock
into other states is given on the following page. It will be noted that
most states require the out-of-state shipper to file a copy of his nur-
sery inspection certificate with the proper administrative authority

PLANT IMPORTATION
Under provisions of Federal Quarantine Number 37 certain limi-
tations are placed upon the importation of plants and seeds from
foreign countries. Anyone wishing to import nursery stock, plants
or seeds must first obtain a permit from the Bureau of Entomology
and Plant Quarantine, 209 Biver Street, Hoboken, New jersey. In
applying for a permit to import plant material the following infor-
mation is required: (u) The name and location of the producer from
whom the plants or seeds are to be secured; (b) the name and ud-
dress of the person or firm to which the plants or seeds are to he
shipped;   the munber and genus of the plants or seeds for which
the permit is desired.
All restricted plants imported under the conditions listed above
are limited in size and age to the youngest and smallest which can he
successfully freed from soil about their roots, transported to the United
States, and established in this country with a reasonable degree of
success. Certain Classes of plants permitted entry under quarantine
37 are required to be grown by the importer under post entry
inspection regulations. Such plants are not released to the

 . A \ _
INSPECTION or Nunsmw Srocx, 1949-50 13
trade until such time as their freedom from plant diseases and insect
pests has been established. The plants are therefore grown for one
or more years in a place where the state inspector may have access
to them for inspection purposes, for such time as appears necessary. .
\Vhen their freedom from pests and diseases has been established, the ·
I plants under quarantine are released.
JAPANESE BEETLES
Seven ]apanese beetles were found in a small area in ]efferson
county during ]une and ]uly 1949. These finds were made possible by ’
the use of 100 traps lent by the Bureau of Entomology and operated
by the Kentucky nursery inspection service. The infested area in- _
cluded two nurseries.
Immediately following the capture of the first beetles plans were
started to treat the area to prevent spread of the beetles. All foliage
in the two nurseries and their environs was sprayed with DDT in an
effort to kill adult ]apanese beetles before egg laying was completed.
The same area was given soil treatment with DDT, later in the season,  
in an effort to kill any larvae of lapanese beetles which may have
developed.
The two nurseries were immediately placed under restrictions.
All plants moved out with soil about the roots were treated by dipping
the balls in a solution known to kill ]apanese beetle larvae in the
soil. This was done under supervision of State or Federal employees
and at the expense of the nurserymen.
Excellent cooperation was given by the nurserymen involved and
the home owners in the vicinity. The lefferson County Fiscal Court
financed the soil treating of the area outside the nurseries and the
Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine furnished equipment and '
supervision for making the soil application of DDT. Mr. Shirley
Anderson, County Agricultural Agent of lefferson County, worked very
faithfully with this problem. His help was greatly appreciated.
Plans are being made for an extensive ]apanese beetle trapping
program during the 1950 flight season. The Bureau of Entomology
and Plant Quarantine is planning to trap the major plant growing
establishments as well as airports, freight yards, truck depots, and
several sections of the Louisville area. Approximately 2,500 Iapanese
beetle traps will be used in this program to determine if or to what
extent the lapanese beetle has become established in Kentucky.
