ILLINOIS. —The new law, to be known as The Plant Inspec¬ 
tion Act of 1917, which went into effect July 1, 1917, transfers 
inspection work from state entomologist jurisdiction to that of 
the Department of Agriculture. 
Nurseries are inspected annually, beginning July 1st, and more 
frequently if circumstances require. 
Greenhouses are inspected only on application. 
In case part of a nursery is found to be infested with pests or 
is liable to become so infested before the close of the nursery 
season, the Department of Agriculture may prescribe such meas¬ 
ures as it may deem necessary and withhold certificate of inspec¬ 
tion until the nurseryman has signed an agreement to comply 
with the prescriptions and requirements made. 
The Department of Agriculture is required to send to nursery¬ 
men of the state a list of official inspectors whose certificates are 
accepted as equivalent to its own, and a nurseryman receiving 
nursery stock under such certificates may substitute his certifi¬ 
cate for them. 
Nurserymen outside of Illinois wishing to solicit- orders, 
through agents or otherwise, shall file a certified copy of their 
original state certificate and will then receive from the Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture a permit in case such certificate is approved. 
Nursery stock brought into the state must be marked so as to 
show the names of consignor and consignee, the general nature 
of the stock and the locality icltcre yroirii, and be accompanied by 
official certificate of inspection. When nursery stock arrives in 
Illinois unaccompanied by an official certificate, the carrier, and 
the consignee also, must report the fact to the Department of 
Agriculture and hold such stock until it is inspected and the ex¬ 
penses of the inspection are paid, or until the stock is released. 
Persons receiving nursery stock from foreign countries must 
notify the Department of Agriculture and hold said stock un¬ 
opened until inspected or released. 
The Department of Agriculture is authorized to establish quar¬ 
antines.
