Inspection of Nursery Stock.

Many of our readers have asked us in
regard 10 laws regulating growing and
selling nursery stock Under the present
law passed June 10, 1903, nurserymen
are required to have the state inspector
look over the stock after August and
while in growing condition and full leaf.
Said stock must be apparently free from
disease and insects in order to get a GER
tiiicate of inspection. Should it appear
the inspector will give the owner certi-
ficate TO that effect on payment of a fee
sufficient to cover cost. The certificate
will then enable you to get a license to
sell the stock and any stock you may
buy which has been regularly and legally
inspected in our state. If stock you buy
is grown outside of the state it must be
fumigated with hydrocinic gas, according
to our state formula, and no stock will be
allowed to be shipped into the state ex-

cept it has been property fumigated and
certified to by authority from the state
in which it is grown. Any portion of the
stock growing on your premises not
shown to the inspector will render your
license void.
In cases where stock is growing within p
mile of where San Jose scale exists or
any other dangerous disease it must be
fumigated il grown in our state. Dealers
must procure license to sell only prop
erly inspected and fumigated stock and
under the text of the law any person
selling nursery stock no matter in how
small quantity without license is liable
under the law. 1t would be well before
buying nursery stock from .any one to
see first if they have license, second if
they are growing or buying and where.
This law needs the cooperation of the
growers to keep out disease, and parties
selling without license should be turned
down.
