PLANT QUARANTINE DECISION 

 NO. 4. 



The Federal Horticultural Board 

 recommends that regulation 7 of the 

 rules and regulations for carrying out 

 the Plant Quarantine Act (37 Stat., 

 315), as amended March 4, 1913, pub- 

 lished in circular No. 44, office of the 

 secretary, issued May 26, 1913, be 

 amended, to take effect as amended on 

 and after August 1, 1913, so as to read 

 as follows; 



Each certificate and copy certificate 

 shall give the date of inspection; name 

 of the grower or exporter; the district 

 or locality and the country where 

 grown; a statement that the stock has 

 been inspected by a duly authorized 

 official and found, or believed to be. 

 free from insect pests and plant dis- 

 eases. The original certificate shall 

 be signed and sealed by, and the copy 

 certificate shall bear the seal of, the 

 responsible inspection official for the 

 country of origin. 



Permits may be canceled and further 

 permits refused for the importation of 

 nursery stock from any given country 

 whenever such stock, in the judgment 

 of the Federal Horticultural Board, is 

 found to be so infested as to plainly 

 indicate that the foreign inspection is 

 merely perfunctory, and such countries 

 shall thereafter be classed as countries 

 which do not maintain nursery stock 

 inspection until satisfactory evidence 

 is presented to show that the regula- 

 tions of the board have been complied 

 with. 



Lists of officials in foreign countries 

 authorized to inspect nursery stock, 

 giving their names and official designa- 

 tions, will be furnished to collectors 

 of customs through the secretary of 

 the treasury.
