RHODE ISLAND. The State Board of Ag- 

 riculture appoints a state nursery inspector, 

 whose duties shall be to inspect nurseries 

 and grant an annual certificate. Owners of 

 nurseries who shall fumigate all stock sold 

 by them may make affidavit to the fact and 

 attach a copy to each package shipped in 

 lieu of a certificate of inspection. All nur- 

 sery stock shipped into the state shall bear 

 on each package a certificate that the con- 

 tents have been inspected by an authorized 

 inspecting ohlcer. In case nursery stock is 

 brought within the state without such a cer- 

 tificate, the consignee shall return it to the 

 consignor, provided, however, that any pack- 

 age or box bearing a certificate of fumiga- 

 tion, which meets the requirements, may be 

 accepted as though bearing a certificate of 

 inspection. (Chapter 1159. Laws of 1904.)
