INSPECTION AND FUMIGATION LAWS 295 



New Jersey. Any nurseryman or grower of plants 

 offered for sale may require the State Entomologist 

 at New Brunswick, N. J. , to examine or have examined 

 the stock grown by him. If no injurious insects liable 

 to spread are discovered he may demand a certificate to 

 that effect. All nursery stock shipped into the State 

 must be accompanied by a proper certificate. Any 

 stock received without a certificate may be detained by 

 the State Entomologist or his deputy, and in case it is 

 found infested it may be destroyed or reshipped to the 

 original shipper. Florists' stock is exempt under this 

 act. Not more than three commissioners are appointed 

 for each county. They are empowered to report the 

 presence of any injurious insects or diseases liable to 

 spread to the State Entomologist, who may order such 

 treatment as seems best. Persons failing to carry out 

 the instructions of the State Entomologist shall be 

 fined.

 accompanied by a copy of said certificate attached to 

 each car, box, bale, or package. All transportation 

 companies within the State receiving or carrying 

 nursery stock from any point without the State to any 

 point within shall immediately upon receipt of such 

 consignment notify the Commissioner of Agriculture,
