If upon the inspection of any nursery as above provided it shall appear that said nursery and its premises are free from dangerous insects and dangerous plant dis eases, it shall be the duty of the State Entomologist upon payment of the expenses of inspection, and certified by him to give or to send to the owner of said nursery, or to the person in charge of the same, not later than October first, a certificate of inspection stating that said nursery and premises are apparently free from such insects and diseases, and such certificate shall be valid, unless revoked for cause as hereinafter provided, for one year from the date of inspection, and no longer. The provisions of this section shall not apply to florists' greenhouse plants nor to flowers or cuttings commonly known as greenhouse stock, and no certificate shall be required for the shipment of native stock collected in the United States and not grown in nurseries.

Whenever any nurseryman or seller of trees, shrubs, vines, plants, buds, or cuttings commonly known as nursery stock, shall ship or deliver any such stock he shall place and send on each car, box, bale, bundle, package, or piece, a true copy of a valid certificate of inspection, signed by the State Entomologist of Illinois, or by another inspector duly approved by him, showing that the said stock has been carefully inspected and found apparently free from any dangerous insects or dangerous plant disease. Any person who shall deliver, ship, or consign for shipment nursery stock without such certificate attached, or who shall use such certificate in connection with nursery stock any and every part of which has not been inspected and certified as aforesaid, or who shall alter or deface such certificate, or who shall use an imperfect copy of such certificate, shall be liable to the penalties prescribed in section 5 for a violation of this Act. If the State Entomologist shall find that his certificate of inspection has been used in violation of law, he shall have power to revoke and annul said certificate by written notice to the holder thereof, and such notice shall take effect forthwith, and the use of said certificate after it has been revoked and annulled, and before such revocation has been withdrawn by the State Entomologist, shall subject the holder of said certificate to the penalties provided in section 5 for a violation of this Act.
