The provision for other seeds and plants is as follows : 
All plants, cuttings, buds. grafts, bulbs, roots, seeds, and also 
fruit and vegetables intended for propagation and not for consump- 
tion as food, imported into the Colony from any country, together 
with the packages, boxes, wrappers, soil, or anything whatsoever 
in which they are imported, shall be delivered by the importer to 
the Comptroller or other Officer of Customs, or the Colonial Post- 
master or other Officer of the Post-Office in order that they may 
be fumigated or disinfected or both fumigated and disinfected. 
Where, however, in the opinion of the Superintendent of Agri- 
culture, or his assistant, fumigation or disinfection or both fumi- 
gation and disinfection are not sufficient to destroy any insect pest 
or fungoid disease on any plant, cutting, bud, graft, bulb, root, 
seed, fruit and vegetable, or other article sent him for fumigation, 
he shall cause same article to be destroyed. 
In the Windward and Leeward Islands the regulations in force 
provide for the absolute prohibition of seeds and plants from 
certain countries or places where injurious diseases are known to 
exist, but in the case of other countries seeds and plants are allow- 
ed to be imported after they have been fumigated or disinfected 
or both, according to the discretion of the Agricultural Authority. 
At Bermuda a law passed in 1889 prohibits the importation of 
bulbs, except under regulations approved by the Board of Agricul- 
ture. The regulations provide for the « cleaning, disinfection, 
purification, and treatment of imported bulbs ». The term bulbs 
includes lily, hyacinth, and narcissus bulbs. 
The provision of the several regulations above referred to may 
be summarised as follows : 1° total prohibition; 2° destruction of 
badly infested plants on arrival; 3° treatment of plants on arrival, 
to kill pests or diseases which may be known or suspected to be on 
them, and 4° inspection of suspected plants from time to time for a 
certain period, with power to destroy such plants if they are found 
within that time to be affected with any serious pest or disease. 
The term plant is intended to cover all plant-material, together 
with all packages, packing, etc. Thus all seeds, bulbs, roots, etc., 
if intended for propagation, are included, but fruits, vegetables, etc., 
mtended to be used at once as food are not included at present.
