1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, as follows:
Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corpora-
tion to use, orally or in writing, relative to any agricultural or veg-
etable seeds, or any tubers for seeding purposes, or plants, sold or
advertised or offered for sale in this State, the term “certified,” alone
or with other words, or to so use any other term or form of words
which suggests that there has been inspection and certification, or
either, unless such seeds or tubers or plants have been certified as
hereinafter provided.
Section 2. If such seeds or tubers or plants were produced in
another state or in a foreign country, certification by the legally con-
stituted inspection officials of such state or country or of the United
States shall be sufficient; but if such seeds or tubers or plants were
produced in Virginia, certification shall be by the Extension Division
of the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic
Institute, at Blacksburg, or its duly authorized inspectors or agents,
or by such other agency as the said Extension Division shall desig-
nate; except in case of certificates issued by the State Department of
Agriculture and Immigration in its regulatory work as authorized by
law. The said Extension Division shall adopt and promulgate appro-
priate standards of health, vigor, purity and type for certifying such
seed, tubers and plants as are suited to the needs of agriculture in this
State.
Section 3. The State Department of Agriculture and Immigration
is empowered to carry out the provisions of section four of this act.
Section 4. Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any
of the provisions of section one of this act, shall be guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine not to
exceed five hundred dollars. Each violation shall constitute a sep-
arate offense.
