 signee, the contents, and a certilicale showing 

 that contents have been inspected b.v a state or 

 government officer, and that the trees, vines 

 plants or shrubs therein contained appear free 

 from all injurious insects or diseases. When- 

 ever any trees, vines, plants or shrubs are 

 shipped into this state without such certiflcate
