Importation of Currant Bushes into Great Britain. Journal 

 Board of Agric., April 1909, p. 63. London. 



" The importation of currant bushes into Great Britain is now 

 sanctioned by the American Gooseberry Mildew (prohibition of 

 importation of Bushes) Amendment Order of 1908 (N. 2), provided 

 that a licence of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries granted 

 under that Order is produced at the point of landing, Such li- 

 cences are issued on certain conditions, which require the following 

 requirements to be carried out. 



I. Requirements to be carried out by the exporter: 



a) The bushes are to be cleansed of all earth before being 

 packed up. 



b) The bushes are to be firmly and suitably packed in such 

 a way that they cannot come in contact with any other bushes 

 on the journey; but in order that they may be inspected at the 

 port of landing by the Custom House Officer to see if the package 

 contains contraband goods, they must be packed in such a way 

 that one end of the package can be opened and, after the con- 

 tents have been examined, be closed* up again. The package should 

 bear a label to show where it should be opened. It is suggested 

 that the following words should be used : " Open here for Cu- 

 stoms examination ". It is preferable that the words should be in 

 English. 



c) The name and address of the sender should be put on 

 the address label as well as that of the consignee, and the words 

 " Currant Bushes only " should be clearly written or printed on 

 the label, thus: 



Currant Bushes Only. From M. Brun et Cie. Pepinidristes, 

 Orleans (France). To Messrs Brown & Co. Nurserymen, Reading, 

 (England).
