GEORGIA. 37 



10. No transportation company or common carrier shall deliver any box, 

 bundle, or package of trees, shrubs, or other plants commonly known as nursery 

 stock, shipped from any other State or country to any consignee at any station 

 in the State of Georgia, unless each box, bundle, or package is plainly labeled 

 with a certificate of inspection furnished by the official entomologist of the State 

 or country in which said stock was grown, and also with the official tag of the 

 Georgia State board of entomology hereinabove provided for. Such shipments 

 of the nature designated above, originating in the State of Georgia, need only 

 have the certificate of the State entomologist, and unless his certificate is 

 attached to each and every box, bundle, or package of trees, etc., they shall not 

 be accepted for transportation. 



11. Transportation companies shall immediately notify the State entomolo- 

 gist (Atlanta, Ga. ) when, by oversight, negligence, or otherwise, any ship- 

 ment of uncertified stock is received at any station or wharf in the State, and 

 it shall be his duty to proceed as speedily as possible to investigate and dispose 

 of such stock, as provided for in the act cited above. 



12. All trees, shrubs, or other plants commonly known as nursery stock 

 (with the exception of conifers and strawberry plants) offered for sale, sold, 

 or given away in this State shall be fumigated with hydrocyanic-acid gas by 

 the owner under the direction of the State entomologist. Eact and every 

 nurseryman within this State growing nursery stock for sale shall construct 

 and maintain upon his premises an air-tight fumigating house or box and shall 

 maintain such fumigatorium in first-class condition for fumigating nursery stock 

 between the first of August of each year and the first day of May following. 

 Said fumigating house or box shall be regularly inspected by the State ento- 

 mologist or his assistant in connection with the inspection of nurseries, and the 

 owner of each nursery shall be required to demonstrate to the inspector that 

 he has a practical working knowledge of fumigating methods. Upon failure 

 of the fumigating house or box to pass a satisfactory inspection at the time 

 the nursery is inspected each year, no certificate shall be granted until such 

 fumigatorium has been placed in condition for properly fumigating nursery 

 stock. The expenses of the inspector when making an inspection of such fumi- 

 gating house after its repair or alteration shall in all cases be paid by the 

 nurseryman. Upon failure of any nurseryman or dealer in nursery stock to 

 comply with these requirements certificate shall be withheld or cancelled. 



13. Certificate tags of a standard size shall be secured through the State 

 entomologist for attaching to all shipments and deliveries of nursery stock 

 within this State. Such tags shall bear the printed seal of the State board of 

 entomology and the facsimile signature of the entomologist, and shall be fur- 

 nished to nurserymen holding proper certificates at the schedule of prices given 

 in regulation 9. 



14. On and after January 1st, 1905, all nurserymen or dealers in nursery 

 stock selling nursery stock within this State shall be required to thoroughly 

 fumigate, in accordance with the directions furnished them bj^ the State ento- 

 mologist, all nursery stock which they may receive from points without the 

 State before selling or delivering such stock within this State. 



15. Upon the inspection of any nursery, the owner of said nursery, when or- 

 dered to do so by the State entomologist or by the inspector, shall file with the 

 State board of entomology an affidavit to the effect that all nursery stock grown 

 by him, or for him under contract, has been inspected, and that the inspectors 

 have been advised of the location of all nursery stock owned,- controlled, or 

 contracted for by him. Certificate shall be withheld until such affidavit is 

 placed on file.
