An Act to provide for the inspection of nursery stock and to prevent ttie dissemination 



of noxious insects and fungi. 



§ 1. That all nurseries in Kentucky where trees, vines, plants, or other nur- 

 sery stock are grown and offered for sale shall be inspected by the entomologist 

 and botanist of the State agricultural station once each year at such time as he 

 may elect, and he shall notify, in writing, the owners of such nurseries, the com- 

 missioner of agriculture and statistics, the director of the State agricultural 

 experiment station, and the president of the State horticultural society of the 

 presence of any San Jose scale or other destructively injurious insects or fungi 

 on the trees, vines, plants, or other stock of such nurseries, and shall also notify, 

 in writing, the owner of any affected stock that he is required, on or before a 

 certain day, to take such measures for the destruction of such insects or fungus 

 enemies of nursery stock as have been shown to be effectual for this purpose. 

 Said entomologist and botanist shall, for the purposes of this act, be, and he

 take such steps for the destruction of San Jose scale or other destructively 

 injurious insect or fungus enemies present as will exterminate the same, and it 

 shall be a misdemeanor to ship or deliver any of such stock, punishable by a 

 fine of fifty dollars for every such offense, the fine recoverable before a justice of 

 the peace, or by indictment by a grand jury of the county in which the nursery 

 is situated, or of that to which such stock may have been shipped. 

 ■ § 3. Whenever a nurseryman or seller of trees, vines, plants, or other nursery 

 stock, who is a resident of this Commonwealth, shall ship or deliver any such 

 goods, he shall send on each package so shipped or delivered a written certificate, 

 signed by him, stating that the whole and every part of such stock has been 

 examined by a State or Government entomologist and found free from San Jose 

 scale or other destructively injurious insect or fungus enemies. Failure to 

 furnish such certificate, or furnishing a false certificate, shall render him liable 

 to the penalty of a fine of fifty dollars for each and every such shipment or 

 delivery without such certificate.
