Shipments of nursery stock into the 
state must be accompanied by a copy of 
the valid certificate of inspection, a copy 
of the valid permit issued to the nursery- 
man by the state entomologist of this 
state, and must bear the name and ad- 
dress of the consignor and consignee 
with a statement of the contents of the 
shipment; all shipments not so labeled 
or tagged must be refused for shipment 
by the carrier. Carriers bringing into the 
state shipments of nursery stock which 
originated in foreign countries or for- 
eign possessions of the United States 
must notify the state entomologist in 
writing and must hold such stock at any 
place designated by him until the same 
has been duly inspected and released. 
Nurserymen located out of the state 
may secure permits by filing with the 
state entomologist a copy of their certif- 
icate. Geo. G. Becker, Acting State En- 
tomologist, Fayetteville, Ark.

Shipments of nursery stock into Cali- 
fornia are held by the transportation 
companies until inspected by state quar- 
antine guardians. All packages must be 
marked with the name and address of 
the shipper, name of the consignor and 
name of the place where the stock is 
grown. All nursery stock infested with 
pests not existing in California will be 
immediately sent out of the state or de- 
stroyed at the option of the owner and 
at his expense. Peach, apricot and al- 
mond trees coming from districts where 
yellow and rosette are known to exist 
shall be refused entry and shall be de- 
stroyed or returned to the shipper. No- 
tices of shipment of nursery stock to 
California should be sent to the horticul- 
tural quarantine officer, room 11, Ferry

The state entomologist has general 
supervision of the inspection of nurseries 
and orchards to prevent the introduction 
and spread of injurious insects and plant 
diseases. County horticultural inspectors 
in fruit-growing counties of the state are 
appointed by the county commissioners. 
All nursery stock coming into the state 
must bear certificates of inspection and 
fumigation, and on arrival in counties 
that have inspectors is turned over to 
them and released to consignee if it 
passes inspection. C. P. Gillette, State 
Entomologist, Fort Collins, Colo.

All nursery stock shipped into this 
state shall bear on each package a certif- 
icate that the contents of said package 
have been inspected by a state or gov- 
ernment officer and that said contents ap- 
pear free from all dangerous insects and 
diseases. If nursery stock is brought in- 
to the state without such a certificate, the 
express, freight, or other transportation 
company or person shall, before deliver- 
ing shipment to consignee, notify the state 
entomologist of the facts, giving name and 
address of consignee, origin of shipment, 
and approximate number of cars, boxes, 
or packages, and probable date of the de- 
livery to the consignee. The state en- 
tomologist may cause the inspection and 
if infested the treatment of the stock. 
No person, firm, or corporation shall un- 
pack any woody field-grown nursery or 
florists’ stock brought into this state from 
foreign countries except in the presence 
of an inspector, unless given permission 
to do so by said state entomologist or one 
of his deputies. If such stock is found 
infested with any dangerous pests the 
state entomologist may at his discretion 
order it treated. Any person violating 
any of the provisions of this act shall be 
fined not more than $50. Dr. W. E. 
Britton, State Entomologist, New Haven,
