28 NURSERY iNSt'ECTloN. 



We also add a brief synopsis of the latest inspection law^ 

 of the various states, there having been some changes since we 

 last published them. The attention of our nurserymen is 

 called to the fact that any shipment of nursery stock into 

 South Dakota now requires a certificate. This synopsis is 

 compiled largely from the latest circular on the subject. 



Alabama : Persons outside the state wishing to do busi- 

 ness in Alabama must file a signed copy of their inspection cer- 

 tificate with the Secretary of the Board. Accompanying the 

 certificate must be sufiicient money to pay for the necessary 

 Alabama tags. A tag must be attached to every package 

 delivered in the state. Tags are furnished at cost as follows : 

 First one liundred, 65c; 200, $1.00; 500, $1.60; in lots of 

 1000, $2.20, sent by express collect. (Acts of 1903.) R. S. 

 Mackintosh, Secretary and State Horticulturist, Auburn, Ala. 



Arizona : No law. 



Arkansas : Shipments of nursery stock into the state 

 must be accompanied by a certificate of inspection and bear the 

 name and address of consignee and consignor, otherwise the 

 transportation company must notify the consignor and not 

 deliver the sliipments until a certificate is furnished. (Laws 

 of 1903.) Mr. C. F. Adams, Entomologist and State Inspec- 

 tor, Fayetteville, Ark.

 inspection on arrival and must be marked with the name and 

 address of the shipper, name of consignee and name of place

 ing in the orchards, vineyards and farms of California will be 

 immediately sent out of the state or destroyed, at the option of 

 the owaier or agent at his expense. All nursery stock coming 

 from districts where the disease known as Peach Yellows and 

 Rosette are known to exist shall be refused entry and shall be 

 destroyed or returned at the option of the owner. Notice of 

 shipment should be given to Mr. Edw. M. Ehrhorn, Ferry 

 Bldg., San Francisco, Cal.

 ing a horticultural inspector shall have attached to each box,
