Src. 3. Whenever the county horticultural inspector shall be notified of the arrival 
of any of the articles enumerated in section 2 of this act, he shall within 48 hours 
make a careful inspection of the same, and if any such articles shall be found by him 
to be infested with any disease, live scale, or insect pests, detrimental or injurious 
to fruit trees or the product thereof, or to plant life, such infested articles shall be 
removed from the limits of the county within 48 hours thereafter, at the expense of 
the owner, agent or shipper, or shall be destroyed. The owner, agent or shipper 
shall have the right to elect as to the removal of such infested articles from the 
county, or to have the same destroyed by order and under the direction of said 
inspector. 
Src. 4. The county horticultural inspector shall have the power to establish and 
maintain quarantine and inspecting stations within his county, whenever and wher- 
ever the same may be authorized by the board of county commissioners, and of such 
character as they shall direct. 
Sec. 5. If the result of the inspection of the county horticultural inspector shall 
be to put any of the articles mentioned in section 2 of this act in quarantine, such 
articles shall be exempt from removal from the county during the pendency of such 
quarantine regulations. Whenever said inspector shall deem it necessary to the 
safety of the horticuitural interests of his county, he may hold in quarantine for 
information, subsequent inspection or disinfection and final order relative thereto, 
any of the articles enumerated in said section 2 of this act for such reasonable time 
as in his judgment is necessary, without unreasonable delay. 
Src. 6. Any person or persons who shall ship or bring or cause to be brought or 
shipped into any county of the State having a county horticultural inspector any of 
the articles mentioned in section 2 of this act, shall have placed upon or securely 
attached to each box, package, or separate parcel of such articles, a distinct mark | 
or label showing the name of the owner, agent, or shipper, the name of the grower, 
and any further evidence necessary to determine the locality where grown. 
Src. 7. It shall be the duty of the county horticultural inspector in each county, 
whenever he shall deem it necessary, to make an inspection of any orchard, nursery, 
or trees, or any fruit-packing house, storeroom, salesroom, or other place, or article 
within his jurisdiction, and if found infested with insects, or pests or diseases inju- 
rious to fruit, fruit trees, vines, bushes, or other horticultural interests, he shall 
notify the owner or owners, or person or persons in charge or in possession of such 
trees, place, or other thing as aforesaid, that the same or any of them are infested 
with insects or their eggs or larve, or with fruit or fruit-tree diseases, and shall 
give a formula for the treatment thereof, and such person or persons so notified shall 
eradicate or destroy the said insects or pests, or their eggs or larve, within a certain 
time to be specified in said notice. Said notices may be served upon the person or 
persons, or either of them, owning or having charge or having possession of such 
infested place, trees, or other thing as aforesaid, by the inspector or any deputy 
inspector. Any and all such places, trees, or other thing thus infested are hereby 
declared and adjudged to be a public nuisance. Whenever any such nuisance shall 
exist at any place within his jurisdiction on the property of any nonresident, or on 
any property the owner or owners of which can not be found by the inspector after 
diligent search within the county, or on the property of any owner or owners upon 
which notice has been served and who refuses or neglects to abate the same within 
the time specified, or to follow the directions given by said inspector for disinfecting 
the same, it shall be the duty of such inspector to cause the same to be at once 
abated by eradicating or destroying said insects or other pests, their eggs or larve, 
so far as practicable, and he may, if necessary, cut back, disinfect, fumigate, or 
burn said infested trees, vines, and shrubs, as well as other articles in the vicinity 
which are also infested, but the inspector shall not proceed to abate any such nui- 
sance where his directions have been followed.
