SHIPMENT OF NURSERY STOCK 

 IN BOND TO FOREIGN 

 COUNTRIES. 

 Washington, D. C, Oct. 27, L919, 

 Dear Sir: 



With respect to the movement of 

 nursery stock in bond through Ameri- 

 can ports to foreign countries, the 

 Federal Horticultural Board has issued 

 the following provisional ruling: 



(1) The classes of plants enumer- 

 ated in Regulation 2, Quarantine No. 

 37 may pass through the United States 

 in bond without permit or other com- 

 pliance with the regulations. This is 

 provided for in a paragraph of Regula- 

 tion 4 of the quarantine, which reads: 



Permits are not required for 

 nursery stock and other plants and 

 seeds, not under quarantine or 

 regulation, entering the United 

 States for immediate transporta- 

 tion in bond to foreign countries. 



(2) The classes of plants included 

 in Regulation 3 fall under "Rules and 

 Regulations Governing the Entry for 

 Immediate Exportation of Prohibited 

 Plants and Plant Products" effective 

 December 1, 1917, and may proceed to 

 foreign countries in bond under the 

 conditions indicated in Regulation 7 of 

 the regulations referred to. The per- 

 mit shall be in the form of a letter in 

 quadruplicate which shall detail the 

 safeguards to be enforced and, if 

 necessary, the routing of the shipment, 

 one copy of which shall be filed with 

 the Board and one each sent to the im- 

 porter, the customs officer, and the in- 

 spector of the Board at the port of 

 arrival. 



(3) Other plants or classes of 

 plants and plant products for propaga- 

 tion not covered by Regulations 2 and 

 3 may be entered for immediate trans- 

 portation and exportation in bond to 

 foreign countries under the same 

 terms as plants covered in Regulation 

 3, except as to plants which come with 

 earth or soil about the roots or packed 

 in earth or soil which has not been 

 sterilized. As to such excepted plants 

 their entry for transportation across 

 the country in bond is prohibited, but 

 provision may be made for their im- 

 mediate export to the country of 

 destination by any available ocean 

 route. 



In case of a mixed shipment which 

 can not be conveniently separated or 

 divided into the different classes the 

 whole shipment must be governed by 

 the class subject to the greatest re- 

 strictions as to entry. 



Permits for classes 2 and 3 will be 

 issued for each shipment; in other 

 words, no open permits will be issued. 

 These permits will either be issued 

 from Washington or. when so author-

'MUMS FOR PHILADELPHIA. 

 O. L. Henry & Sons, Pennsburg flor- 

 ists, are engaging in the cut flower 



business on an extensive scale and are 

 making regular shipments to the Phila- 

 delphia wholesale markets where they 

 are deriving remarkable prices for 

 their flowers. Last week the firm 

 shipped 39 dozens of chrysanthemums 

 to the Philadelphia markets. These 

 same flowers are retailing in the Phila- 

 delphia retail stores for $6.00 a dozen. 

 On Monday another shipment of 16 

 dozens was made. Mr. Henry and his 

 son are devoting a large part of the 

 spacious greenhouses to the cut flower 

 business and find it a profitable angle 

 of their line. They have planned to 

 ship at least 2,500 chrysanthemums to 

 Philadelphia. — Prnnsburg Pa., Town
