White Pine Blister Rust 



Within the past few years a disease known as the White Pine Blister Rust 

 has established itself in the eastern portion of the United States where it is 

 doing great damage to all five-leafed pines. Oregon's forests of five-leafed 

 pines, including the western white pine and the sugar pine, are of immense 

 value. For the protection of these forests it appeared necessary to prohibit the 

 importation of five-leafed pines from any locality not known to be free from 

 this disease. It was necessary to include in this prohibition all varieties of 

 currant and gooseberry bushes, as they are subject to the disease. The following 

 quarantine was therefore established : 



Oregon State Board of Horticulture, Notice of Quarantine No. 4 



The fact has been determined by the President of the Oregon State Board of 

 Horticulture that a dangerous disease of pine trces, known as the White Pine 

 Blister Rust (Peridermium strobi, Klebahn), not heretofore prevalent in nor 

 distributed within the State of Oregon, exists in many foreign countries and 

 throughout a large portion of the United States east of the Mississippi River, 

 which disease attacks all five-leafed pines and all currant and gooseberry plants : 



Now, therefore, I, Chas. A. Park, President of the Oregon State Board of 

 Horticulture, under authority conferred by Section 1, of Chapter 246, of the 

 General Laws of 1913, do hereby prohibit the importation from any and all 

 foreign countries and from all portions of the United States east of the Mississippi 

 River, of all trees of five-leafed pines and of all species and genera of currant 

 and gooseberry plants and cuttings.
