ABSTRACTS OF INSPECTION LAWS IN VARIOUS STATES. 
We include here abstract of inspection laws of all states where inspec- 
tion is in force, for the benefit of our nurserymen, and suggest that ship- 
pers become familiar with the laws of those states into which they propose 
to ship, thus avoiding delays and possible loss. This list is the latest 
which has come to our attention, being compiled by officials in New Jersey, 
and is dated March, 1914. It is therefore probably correct in all essential 
features. 
Alabama. Every nurseryman or dealer in nursery stock doing business 
in Alabama must take out a license, which is of two kinds: one regular 
nurseryman and dealer’s license and another an agent’s license, the agent’s 
license to be obtained only through the principal, who must hold a regular 
nurseryman’s or dealer’s license. The fee for each nurseryman’s or dealer’s 
license is ten dollars ($10.00). The fee for each agent’s license is one 
dollar ($1.00). All license fees must be paid before the license is granted. 
A signed copy of the inspection certificate held by the applicant must be 
filed with the State Horticulturist and money sent to pay for the license 
and tags needed A tag must be placed on each order delivered. One tag 
on a box does not cover individual orders therein. No one is allowed to 
receive a package of nursery stock unless a tag is attached. Printed 
official tags are furnished at a cost as follows: First one hundred. 65 cents 
postpaid; first two hundred, $1.00 postpaid; first three hundred, $1.20 post- 
paid; first five hundred, $1.60 postpaid; in thousand lots, $2.20, sent by 
express collect. Personal checks will be received. Use money order or 
draft. Send small amounts in two-cent stamps. It is unlawful for any 
person, firm, or corporation outside of the State of Alabama to ship into 
the State any citrus stock for propagation or for planting unless said stock 
is first completely defoliated and fumigated with hydrocyanic acid gas of 
standard strength. Further, the official inspection tag on such shipment or 
shipments must state that such citrus stock has been properly defoliated 
and fumigated, E. P. Sandsten, State Horticulturist, Auburn, Alabama.
