As stated aliove, the trade in plants (which, of course, includes 

 trees) is in the hands of nurserymen. The requirements arising out 

 of the Act and its ]e<>ulations concerning- the growino- and disposal of 

 nursery stock are carefully oliserved by nurserymen. All nurseries 

 aie registered and subject to systematic inspection by the I)ej)artment, 

 and where insect pests or plant diseases are discovered these nurseri»'S, 

 or the portions alfected, aie liable to quarantine. Adequate fumiga- 

 tion-chambers must be })rovided and maintained in connection with 

 each nursery dealing in fiuit tr(n's, and stock is fumigated as required 

 by regulation. 



Pailway and j)Ostal authorities ai'e instiucted not to accept any 

 consignment of nurseiy slock for direct delivery unless it is accom- 

 ])anied by the certificate required by the regulations.
