N.B. ; St, John's, P.Q. ; Niagara Falls, Ont. ; Windsor, Ont. ; 

 Winnipeg, Man. ; and Vancouver. B.C., fumigation stations are 

 established, where stock requiring fumigation is fumigated before 

 being released by the Customs, and a certificate of fumigation 

 is given. For stock requiring inspection, a different procedure 

 is necessary. All vegetation and nursery stock, except the 

 classes already mentioned, coming from Europe, Japan, or the 

 States of Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, 

 Connecticut, and Rhode Island, is inspected, and the general 

 method of procedure is as follows : — 



Any person importing nursery stock is required to send to 

 the Dominion Entomologist, within five days of ordering this 

 stock, a notice of his order, which must give the name of the 

 consignee, place of origin, the quantity and nature of the stock. 

 When the shipment arrives, a notice of its arrival is sent by the 

 Customs officers to the Dominion Entomologist, and the importer 

 and Custom House brokers are also required by the regulations to 

 send a notice of its arrival. Two methods may then be followed : 

 Nursery stock entering through certain ports, such as Vancouver 

 or Winnipeg, is inspected at the port of entry, and after it bears 

 a certificate of inspection it is allowed to proceed to its destina- 

 tion. Nursery stock entering Ontario through certain ports, 

 however, is allowed to proceed to its destination, and on notices 

 of its arrival being received from the Customs officers and the 

 importer, an inspector is immediately instructed to visit the 

 consignee for the purpose of inspecting the stock. Under the 

 regulations, the consignee may not unpack the stock, except in 

 the presence of an inspector, who, after inspecting the same, 

 issues a certificate of inspection.
