Notice to Applicants for Trees 



Honolulu, July 16, 1919. 



By Rule XX of the Division of Plant Inspection of the Board 

 of Agriculture and Forestry, which was approved by the Gov- 

 ernor on May 26 and became effective June 1, 1919, the shipping 

 of plants (including young tree seedlings) in soil from the Island 

 of Oahu to any other island is prohibited, in order to protect the 

 agriculture and plant life on the other islands from new insect 

 pests which may secure an entrance at Honolulu, the port of entry 

 for the Territory. 



For this reason the Government Nursery is not able to send out 

 any more young trees from Honolulu to the other islands. To 

 meet the demands for trees on the other islands the following 

 arrangements have been made : 



Hawaii. Brother Matthias N^ewell at Hilo, Hawaii, will, upon 

 due notice in advance, be able to supply trees for that island from 

 the nursery at Hilo. 



Maui and Molokai. Forest Ranger James Lindsay at Haiku, 

 Maui, will be able to supply, after advance notice, trees for Maui 

 and Molokai from the new nursery at Haiku. 



Kauai. Arrangements are being made for the establishment 

 of a nursery on Kauai, but until these are completed no trees can 

 be furnished.

 Superintendent of Forestry. 



New Federal Plant Quarantine 



The attention of growers, nurserymen, florists and others inter- 

 ested is directed to the fact that on June 1st, 1919, a new Fed- 

 eral Plant Quarantine went into efTect under No. 37. It is in- 

 tended to more fully protect the horticultural and agricultural 

 interests of the Islands and is the result of thought and investi- 

 gation of experts of the Federal and State Governments. Special 

 quarantines prohibiting entirely the importation of specific plants 

 and plant products from certain countries or localities remain in 

 effect. 



Under regulations of Quarantine Notice No. 37, importation 

 of such materials as are permissible for propagation can only be 

 made under permits issued by the Federal Horticultural Board, 

 U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Those con- 

 templating importing plants or plant products intended for prop- 

 agation should communicate with the Chief Plant Inspector of the 

 Board of Agriculture and Forestry, who has blank forms of ap- 

 plication for permits and can give detailed information.
