THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
Board of Agriculture shall appoint a State Entomologist whose 
duties it shall be to inspect nurseries and orchards and to grant 
an annual certificate for sale of nursery stock. All nursery 
stock shipped into the state must bear on each package a certi¬ 
ficate that the contents have been inspected by an authorized in¬ 
spection officer. The State Entomologist is, furthermore, 
authorized to inspect any nursery stock which comes into the 
state, even when sent in under an official certificate, if he deems 
it advisable, and shall order its return to the consignor if any 
injurious insects or plant diseases are found therein. 
An affidavit of fumigation is no longer accepted in lieu of 
official inspection. 
Agents who have no nursery, and who wish to sell nursery 
stock within the state, must apply to the State Entomologist for 
an agent’s license and must state where they propose to purchase 
their stock to be sold. A. E. Stene, State Entomologist, King¬ 
ston, R. I. 
SOUTH CAROLINA.—Stock coming from other states, prov¬ 
inces or foreign countries and consigned to points within this 
state must have attached to every bundle or package an interstate, 
tag or permit issued by the South Carolina Crop Pest Commis¬ 
sion. This interstate tag or permit can be issued only after the 
certificate of inspection of the state, country or province where 
shipment originated has been approved by the South Carolina 
State Crop Pest Commission and filed in the office of the ento¬ 
mologist or pathologist of the said commission. It is further 
required that the fumigation certificate of the South Carolina 
State Crop Pest Commission be properly filled out and filed in 
the office of the entomologist or pathologist of the commission 
before the interstate tag or permit can be issued, unless the 
official inspection certificate includes a statement that the nur¬ 
sery is properly equipped for fumigating. Prof. A. F. Conradi, 
State Entomologist; Prof. H. W. Barre, State Pathologist, Clem- 
son College, S. C. 
SOUTH DAKOTA.—All nursery stock shipped into the state 
must be accompanied by a certificate of inspection issued by the 
State Entomologist of the state from which it was shipped. Any 
person, firm or corporation owning a nursery which sells stock 
to be delivered in this state must certify where the stock was 
grown and attach this statement to all shipments. Harry C. 
Severin, State Entomologist, Brookings, S. D. 
TENNESSEE.—Nurseries are inspected annually, or oftener if 
necessary. Any person, firm or corporation without the state, 
desiring to do business within the state, shall file with the state 
Entomologist and Plant Pathologist a copy of his certificate of 
inspection issued and signed by proper official of his state, as 
well as an agreement to fumigate properly all stock shipped into 
the state. Every shipment must be accompanied by a copy of 
said certificate of inspection and a fumigation tag. Every in¬ 
dividual sale or bill of trees shall bear a copy of certificate. 
Failure to comply with the requirements subjects stock to confis¬ 
cation. 
Following is the form of required agreement to fumigate: 
We, the undersigned, agree to fumigate with hydrocyanic 
acid gas, according to the required strength, all nursery 
stock subject to attack from San Jose scale and other dan¬ 
gerous insect pests. We also agree to attach a fumigation 
tag to each and every shipment going into the state of Ten¬ 
nessee. 
Prof. G. M. Bentley, State Entomologist and Plant Pathologist, 
Knoxville, Tenn. 
TEXAS.—Nurseries and greenhouses are inspected annually. 
All shipments of nursery stock originating outside the state must 
not only bear shipping tags showing copy of certificate of inspec¬ 
tion from the State Inspector of the state in which the shipment 
originates, but in addition thereto must have a tag showing copy 
of permit from Texas. Freight and express companies in this 
state are prohibited from receiving or delivering shipments which 
do not bear tags showing copy of Texas permit and they are 
exempt, by law, from damages arising from refusal to deliver such 
shipments. 
No nursery stock shall be shipped into the state by any person 
or company without first filing with the State Department of Agri¬ 
culture a certified copy of certificate of inspection from State In¬ 
spector of the state in which the shipment originates. A fee of 
$5 is required for issuance of permit to ship into the state. 
Agents or dealers operating in Texas for nurserymen outside of 
the state, must procure proper credentials, as agents, from their 
nurseries, on a form furnished and approved by the Commis¬ 
sioner of Agriculture, and each agent or dealer must be prepared 
to present such credentials at all times. 
Dealers are classed as nurserymen and are required to take 
out permit. Greenhouses and greenhouse plants are included 
for inspection by the Texas law and all State Inspectors should 
advise their nurserymen, florists or owners of greenhouses that 
they must have a Texas certificate before they can make ship¬ 
ments into the state. Ed. L. Ayers, Chief Inspector, Austin, 
Texas. 
UTAH.—No person shall engage in the business of selling or 
importing nursery stock without having first obtained a license 
to do business in the state. Any person may obtain a license 
from the State Horticultural Commission upon the payment of a 
fee of $2.50 annually and by filing with the State Horticultural 
Commission a bond in the sum of $500. Each salesman or agent 
must hold an authorization from the firm he represents, giving 
his name and the name and address of the persons he represents, 
together with the license number of his principal. A copy of the 
certificate of inspection must be attached to each shipment. All 
nursery stock will be quarantined on arrival and, if deemed ne¬ 
cessary, disinfected or destroyed at the cost of the owner. J. Ed¬ 
ward Taylor, State Horticultural Inspector, Salt Lake City, Utah. 
VERMONT.—Nurseries are inspected annually. Nursery 
stock shipped into the state shall be accompanied by a certificate 
of inspection and the name and post-office address of the con¬ 
signor and consignee. M. B. Cummings, State Nursery Inspec¬ 
tor, Burlington, Vt.

procure from the auditor of public accounts, Richmond, Virginia, 
a certificate of registration for which the fee is $20 for principals, 
duplicates for agents’ use free. Send certified check or draft for

sonal checks will not be accepted.) Duplicate of certificate of
