the date of issue and covering the stock inspected and such other stock as has been
received under valid certificates of inspection, and may issue temporary permits covering certain portions thereof, and permits to dealers. All such certificates and permits
may be revoked for cause. Nursery stock which has not been inspected or stock from a
nursery not holding a valid certificate of inspection shall not be sold or transported, and
transportation companies shall refuse to accept any shipment not bearing such certificate
or some form of permit issued by the State Entomologist, and all nurserymen shall
furnish a certificate, and all dealers a permit, to accompany each package of stock sold
or transported, but no provision of section 22-98 or 22-99 or this section shall prevent
or render liable any person or firm transporting stock from one field or property to
