products constitutes an importation 

 within the meaning and intent of this 

 section and renders subject to prosecu- 

 tion any person so doing. Furthermore, 

 the bringing of prohibited plants or plant 

 products to a port of the United States 

 or into the territorial waters of the 

 United States, whether the same are of- 

 fered for entry or not, constitutes a vio- 

 lation of the act, even if jw actual un- 

 loading or landing is made. 



"The purpose of these regulations is 

 to modify the quarantine orders as to 

 plants and plant products now excluded, 

 or which may hereafter be excluded by 

 quarantine, so as to make provision, 

 where such action can be taken without 

 risk to the plant cultures of this country, 

 for the entry of such plants or plant 

 products either for immediate export 

 or for immediate transportation and ex- 

 portation in bond to meet the occasional 

 exigencies of commerce. The purpose is 

 to provide for such entry and trans- 

 shipment only at such ports and under 

 such conditions of unloading and trans- 

 fer of cargoes or transportation in bond 

 as shall conserve the interests of the 

 United States. Furthermore, regula- 

 tions 9 and 10 provide for the safe- 

 guarding of prohibited or restricted 

 plants arriving at a port or within the 

 territorial waters of the United States 

 •where entry or landing is not in- 

 tended." 



Lake Cbarles, La. — George S. Duflot, 

 who had intended to build another 

 greenhouse this summer, has changed 

 his mind, because of the present high 

 prices of materials, and has postponed 

 it until next summer, when prices will, 

 he believes, be lower.
