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 commissioner 
of agriculture and statistics, the director of the State agricultural experiment sta- 
tion, 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 
purpose of this act, be, and he is hereby declared to be, the State entomologist, and

misdemeanor to ship or deliver any of such stock, punishable by a fine of $50 for 
every such offense, the fine recoverable before a justice of the peace or by indictment 
of the grand jury of the county in which the nursery is situated, or of that to which 
such stock may have been shipped. 
SEc. 3. Whenever a nurseryman or seller of trees, vines, plants, or other nursery
