 Part III.— Nursery Regulations. 



24. Every nursery shall be registered by the 

 nurseryman at the office of the Director of Agriculture 

 on or before the first day of September each year. 

 Applications for registration will be received by the 

 Resident Magistrate in the District wherein the nursery 

 is situated, and such Magistrate shall forward it to the 

 office of the Director of Agriculture, and every nursery- 

 man shall obtain a written acknowledgment of liis 

 registration as proof that he has complied with this 

 requirement. 



25. Every nursery shall be inspected at least once 

 a year by an Inspector. Other inspections may be 

 made if deemed necessary. It shall be lawful for any 

 Inspector to enter upon any land and to do thereon 

 such acts, matters and things as are necessary or 

 reasonably required for carrying out these Regulations, 

 and any person obstructing, resisting or interfering 

 with any such Inspector in the lawful execution of his 

 duty shall be guilty of a contravention of these Regu- 

 lations. 



26. If an Inspector finds in any nursery, orchard, 

 or plantation, any insect pest or plant disease he shall 

 give to the nurseryman or to the owner or occupier 

 of the orchard or plantation, as the case may be, a 

 written notice that such insect pest or plant disease 

 is present, together with recommendations for the 

 eradication of the same, to be carried out within such 

 time as the Inspector may deem necessary. After the 

 service of such notice no person shall remove or cause 

 to be removed from the nursery, orchard or plantation, 

 any such plant or portion thereof which the Inspector 

 has designated as liable to carry such insect pest or 

 plant disease without the written permission of the 

 Inspector. In all such cases the Inspector shall at 

 once report the matter to the Commissioner of Lands. 



27. If the measures recommended have not been 

 applied and the insect pest or plant disease destroyed 

 at the end of the time specified, the Commissioner of 

 Lands may order that no plant or portion of plant 

 which is designateil by the Inspector as liable to 

 disseminate the insect pest or plant disease shall be 

 removed from the nursery. During such periods of 

 restriction no person shall remove or cause to be 

 removed from the nursery, orchard or plantation 

 which is under restriction, any tree, plant, or portion 

 thereof, without the written permission of the Commis- 

 sioner of Lands.
