STATE QUARANTINE ORDER. 



Section 1. No person or persons, firm or corporation, shall receive, brius or 

 sause to be brought into one county of the State of California from another county 

 or section of a county, nor plant, sell or sive away any nursery stcK-k, trees, shrubs, 

 plants, vines, cuttings, grafts, scions, buds, or any other horticultural material or 

 equipment subject to inspection, without giving notice within 24 hours after their 

 arrival at their destination, to the county horticultural commissioner, his deimty or 

 an inspector who shall release them, after inspection and disinfection, as hereinafter 

 provided. Notification of the arrival of interstate shipments is provided for in Sec- 

 tion 1 of the State quarantine law. 



Skc. 2. No pei-son or persons or dealer in nursery stock shall bo allowed to sell 

 or deliver, or cause to be delivered, any nursery stock, trees, shrubs, plants, vines, 

 cuttings, grafts, scions, buds, or any other horticultural material or equipment from 

 a county or section of a county known to contain new or extremely dangerous and 

 not commonly distributed insect or animal pests, fungous or other plant diseases for 

 which there is no known means of eradication, when such articles are known to 

 contain or to be hosts for any of these dangerous pests, into a county or section 

 of a county which upon inspection is found 1o be apparently free from such dangerous 

 insect or animal pests or fungous or other incurable plant diseases. The State Com- 

 missioner of Horticulture through his deputies and the county horticultural com- 

 missioners, shall determine what pests are of limited distribution and of such a 

 dangerous character as to demand quarantine under this section, and shall fix as 

 nearly as possible, the exact areas over which they occur. Such areas shall be 

 designated as quarantine districts, and shall consist of one or more counties, one or 

 more townships within a county or counties, or smaller divisions at the discretion of 

 the State Commissioner of Horticulture. A complete list of all such districts 

 formed, together with the pest or pests of fungous or other plant diseases occurring 

 within each district, must be furnished to all county horticultural commissioners, 

 their deputies and inspectoi's, and all nurserymen and others requesting them. 



Sec. 3. For the further protection of the fruit growers of any county against the 

 introduction of injurious insect or animal pests, or fungous or other plant diseases of 

 any nursery stock, trees, shrubs, plants, vines, cuttings, grafts, scions, buds or other 

 articles of horticulture, the State Commissioner of Horticulture, or under his direction 

 his deputies, the county horticultural commissionei-s, their deputies and inspectors, 

 shall require such treatment of the aforementioned horticultural articles while grow- 

 ing in the nui-sery, orchard or elsewhere, or after being dug and before shipment, 

 as it is deemed necessary for the protection of the horticultural industry from pests 

 or diseases that are known to be present on such articles. The county horticultural 

 commissioner, his deputy or inspectors may require such treatment at the point of 

 delivery as is deemed necessary after an inspection has been made and revealed the 

 presence of live insects or animal pests, fungous or other plant diseases. If in the 

 judgment of the State Commissioner of Horticulture the infestation is so serious as 

 to make treatment ineffective or impracticable, or if pests are present that can not 

 be controlled by known remedies, the shipment shall be returned to the consignor or 

 destroyed within 48 hours, it being optional with the consignor as to which course is 

 pursued, provided that the nature of the pest is not such as to cause immediate 

 danger, or danger in transit, in either case of which the stock shall be immediately 

 destroyed. Any expense occasioned by the treatment of infested stock must be paid 

 by the consignor. In cases of infestation of crown gall, olive knot, root knot and 

 other serious and incurable diseases the infested trees shall be destroyed. 



Whenever a county commissioner of horticulture may deem it necessary for the 

 safety of the horticultural interests of a county he may hold for subsequent inspec- 

 tion or disinfection, or both, any of the articles mentioned in Section 1, for such 

 time as he may deem advisable. 



Sec. 4. The county horticultural commissioner of any county shall, under the 

 direction of the State Commissioner of Horticulture, require at stated times the regis-
