(505 ILCS 90/12) (from Ch. 5, par. 72)
Sec. 12.
Every nurseryman or nursery dealer who sells or
gives away nursery stock in this State
is hereby required to attach to the outside of each package, box, bale, or
carload shipped, transported or delivered by any means, a tag or poster on
which appears an exact copy of the valid certificate, except
over-the-counter retail sales, accompanied by a sales slip.
It is unlawful for
any common carrier, or driver, or owner of a truck or other vehicle to
accept for shipment, or transportation, or to transport any nursery stock
from place to place within the State unless such nursery stock has attached
thereto a valid official certificate of inspection showing that such stock
has been inspected and found apparently free from injurious insect pests
and plant diseases, a nursery dealer's certificate or a certificate showing
that
the shipment has been authorized by the Department. However,
nursery stock consigned to the Department may be offered and
accepted for shipment and shipped without such certificate.
In case any nursery stock is shipped or transported in this State or
into this State from another state, country or province without a required
valid
certificate plainly affixed as aforesaid, the fact must be promptly
reported to the Department by the person carrying the same,
together with the names of the consignor and consignee, and the nature of
the shipment, and the person carrying such stock must return it to the
consignor, hold it for instructions from the Department, or
send it to the Department, with the transportation charges
prepaid, for inspection.
Any person receiving nursery stock transported from any point within the
State, or any other state, country, or province, without a valid
certificate affixed as aforesaid, shall at once notify the Department of
the fact, and shall not plant, use or allow such nursery
stock to leave his possession until it has been inspected or released by
the Department, and the expenses incurred in making such
inspection are paid by him. Such stock may be shipped to the Department,
with all transportation charges prepaid, for inspection
without any additional expense to the owner other than transportation,
drayage and storage charges when such charges are necessarily incurred.
