SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS OF KENTUCKY
NURSERY INSPECTION LAW
(1) It shall be unlawful to sell or olter for sale uninspected or
uncertiiied 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 ]une lst 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 fumish an afiidavit
that he will buy and sell only stock that is certified and will maintain

 INSPECTION or N uasmw Srocx, 1950-51 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.
(4) Every person who solicits orders for nursery stock shall ob-
tain and carry an agent’s permit which is secured only upon request
of the nurseryman or dealer to be represented.
(5) All packages or bundles of nursery stock shipped by common
carrier must have attached a copy of the inspection certificate or
permit.
(6) CertiHcates and permits may be revoked for cause.
(7) Fees shall be paid as follows: Inspection certificate $5;
dealer’s permit, $5. Agents’ permits and nonresident nurserymen’s
certificates are fumished without cost. Fees shall accompany appli-
cation. Application blanks may be obtained from the State Entomolo-
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 ]une 30
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

 8 Riscuraroay Bonmsrm 91 ·
before shipments are made. Only three states require filing fees, ex-
cept under specxal conditions, that are noted in a table which follows.
special shipping tags are required by the following states and will
be tarnished by them at a nominal cost to the shippers: Arkansas ($2
per 100 tags); 1·lorida ($3.24 per 100 tags); Georgia ($1.00 per 100
tags); and New Mexico ($1.20 per 100 tags).
A special tag should be secured and attached to each bundle of
nursery stock shipped to any ot the four states listed.

INTERSTATE SHIPMENT
OF
BARBERRY AND MAHONIA RESTRICTED
Federal Quarantine Number 38, on account of Black Stem Rust was
ammended by the Secretary ofAgricu1ture to become effective February
ll, 1950. Among the important changes in regulations are: (1) the
elimination of the requirement to place a special permit tag on each
package of barberry, mahonia, or mahoberberis shipped interstate;
(2) shipments of seeds and fruits of approved species and varieties are
required to have special permit tags attached when going into any of the
eradication states.
The requirements of Federal Quarantine Number 38 are sum-
marized as follows: (1) The eradication states are: Colorado, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Virginia,
Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and.Wyoming; (Z) Barberry,
mahonia, and mahoberberis, in any variety, can be shipped interstate
(to any state) only under certificate issued by the Bureau of Entomolo-
gy and Plant Quarantine; (3) Application for Federal certificate must
be filed in duplicate, not later than May 15 each year, with the Bureau
of Entomology and Plant Quarantine Division of Plant Disease Control
Washington 25, D. C. ; (4) Only species and varieties known to be rust
resistant and approved by the Bureau will be acceptable for certifica-
tion. Species and varieties not known to be resistant to rust cannot be
shipped interstate and growers who have such rust susceptible species
will be required to destroy them before permits to ship approved varie-
ties are granted; (5) The following species and varieties of barberry,
mahonia, and mahoberberis are designated as rust resistant:

PLANT IMPORTATION
Under provisions of Federal Quarantine Number 37 certain limita-
tions 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 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey. In applying for
a permit to import plant material the following information is required:
(a) The name and location of the producer frorn whom the plants or
seeds are to be secured; (b) the name and address of the person or firm
towhich the plants or seeds are to be shipped; (c) the number 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 be suc-
cessfully freed from soil about their roots, transported to the United
States, and established in this country with a reasonable degree of suc-
cess. 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 trade until such time
as their freedom from plant diseases and insect pests has been estab-
lished. The plants are therefore grown for one or znore years in a
place where the state inspector may have access to them for inspection
purposes, for such time as appears necessary. When their freedom
from pests and diseases has been established, the plants under quaran-
tine are released.
WHlTE—FRINGED BEETLES
There was some natural spread of the w11ite—fringed beetle during
1950, in the established infestations of Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Two
comparatively small infested areas in Tennessee persist - one near
Chattanooga and the other in and around Memphis — in spite of the very
earnest cooperative efforts of the state and federal authorities to
eradicate the pest from these two places.
The progress made in research for the control of this pest is en-
couraging. Chlordane and DDT show promise as effective soil
treatments, and their application has been simplified by new andim-
proved equipment and methods. The time has not yet come, however,
when nurserymen and others in Kentucky can, with safety, purchase and
move potted or balled plants indiscriminately from the infected areas
into the Commonwealth.
JAPANESE BEETLES
The Japanese beetle infestation in Shively, where seven beetles
were captured during the summer of 1949, apparently has been suc-
cessfully eradicated. Intensive trapping and scouting, together with
inspections of all nurseries and many other places where transportation
centers would indicate danger points for Japanese beetle infestations,
failed to reveala single beetle in the area during the 1950 flight season.

 Inspection of Nursery Stock, 1950-51 15
In 1950 four infested areas, involving one nursery, were discovered
in Jefferson county and one area was discovered in Greenup county.
Foliage treatment with DDT was applied in and around all infested areas
. during July and soil treatment of the same areas was applied later in
the season.
Plans are being made for a continuation of the trapping program
during the flight season of 1951 in order to check the effectiveness of
suppressive measures and to locate any possible additional infested
areas.
Financial support by Jefferson and Greenup Fiscal Courts and
cooperation by county agents Shirley W. Anderson and John Irvine,
together with the help of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine,
made it possible to complete the suppressive work in good season.
OAK WILT
A comparatively new disease, oak wilt (Chalara quercina Henry),
is threatening all oaks in the midwest. The disease is caused by a
fungus organism that can be identified by plant pathologists in one- to
two—year old vascular tissue from infected trees.
Varieties of the red and black groups seem to become infected
_ with oak wiltmore readily then white and burr oaks, although all species
p and varieties of oaks are susceptible to the disease.
The first symptoms in the red and black oaks are the appearance
of leaves on the upper branches. They show dull light green color and
curl upward. Later the leaves may turn yellow to reddish brown before
falling. All leaves may fall within a month after first symptoms occur.
In white and burr oaks the disease develops more slowly, with one or ‘
more branches near the top showing disease symptoms first.
Spread of the disease from diseased to healthy trees within native
stands of oaks can occur through natural root grafts or unions. It is
not known to plant pathologists how the disease is spread from one
locality to another.
Oak wilt is known to occur in Arkansas, lllinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
Wisconsin. lt is not known to occur in Kentucky. Nurserymen, for-
