> weevil, is enforcing an emergency rule that prohibits movement of
> ornamental sweet potatoes and other plants in the Ipomea genus from
> 100 quarantined weevil-infested counties into non-quarantined, weevil-
> free counties. TDA inspectors are checking the origin of ornamental
> sweet potato plants at nurseries and retail outlets in non-quarantined
> counties. Nursery operators and retailers are advised to maintain
> documents showing the origin of their plants. If these plants have been
> received from quarantined counties, they will be returned to the point of
> origin at the owners expense or be destroyed. prhode@agr.state.tx.us;
