NURSERY INSPECTION. 
51 
Wyoming. Any person or firm wishing to do business in this State 
must first obtain a license. Licenses are issued on application for a period 
terminating on July 1st of the next succeeding inspection year (approxi- 
mately two years). All applications must be accompanied by the license 
fee ($25), a bond in the sum of five hundred dollars ($500), conditioned 
that the principal will faithfully obey the law of the State of Wyoming, 
and by a certificate of inspection from an authorized inspector in the State 
from which shipments are to be made. On receipt of these papers, the 
Secretary of State Board issues authorized shipping tags (at cost). 
Nursery stock may not enter the State and transportation companies 
may not deliver unless such tag be attached to each and every box, bundle, 
or bale. The presence of the shipping tag shall be taken as prima facie 
evidence of inspection, and no further inspection is required, though the 
Board reserves the right to re-inspect. if for any cause it may deem it 
wise to do so. It is the duty of every outside nursery, holding a license 
to do business in Wyoming, to notify the secretary of the board, as 
inspector-in-chief, of every considerable shipment of nursery stock that it 
proposes to send into this State, said notice to reach the secretary at least 
five days before the delivery of the said goods, and to state the kind 
of stock included and the probable time of its delivery, the railroad station 
and the name of the consignee. It is the further duty of each nursery to 
file with the secretary the full address of every agent or solicitor it may 
employ in the furtherance of its business in the State. For circular of 
detailed information, address Mr. Aven Nelson, Secretary of the State 
Board of Horticulture, I.aramie, Wyoming.

following ports, during the periods mentioned, at which places the stock is

any time through any port without inspection: (a) Greenhouse grown

inches in diameter but not larger. A certificate that the plants have been 
grown under glass must accompany the invoice and shall be signed by the

winter), such as peonies, sunflowers, etc. (c) Herbaceous bedding plants, as 
geraniums, pansies, etc. (d) Bulbs and tubers, such as hyacinths, lilies and 
dahlias, irises, etc. (e) Cottonwood or Necklace poplar, when shipped

intended that the nursery stock shall enter, must be clearly marked on 
each package. All persons importing stock, except that which is exempt 
from fumigation, must notify the Dominion Entomologist. 
The importation of all nursery stock through the mail is prohibited. 
This does not apply to greenhouse-grown florists’ stock, cut flowers, 
herbaceous perennials and bedding plants, which will be admitted provided 
that a detailed statement of the contents is attached to such parcels. The
