Section 6275 of the general statutes is amended to read as follows: 

 Any person who shall take any Kalmia latifolia, commonly known as 

 'mountain laurel, or any ferns, vines or foliage branches of trees or 

 shrubs from the land of another, to be sold or offered for sale as a 

 •commodity, without having obtained and filed with the town clerk of 

 the town in wiiich the land is situated, the written permission of the 

 owner or lessee, or his duly authorized agent, of the land whereon the 

 same was taken, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more 

 than one hundred dollars in each case, and one-half the amount col-

 any common carrier, of any such bale, box or package not so marked, 

 shall constitute prima facie evidence of a violation of the provisions of 

 this section by the person who gathered the contents of such bale, box 

 or package. Any tree warden or officer authorized to serve criminal 

 process may enforce the provisions of this section and may inspect and
