be shipped to any part of the country 

 without further restrictions under Quar- 

 antine No. 37. 



This change of procedure will relieve 

 the importers of bulbs of the work of 

 sending out notices of shipment to their 

 customers. Consignments will not be 

 delayed by state inspectors seeking 

 to trace every individual case shipped . 

 to the interior. There should be dis- 

 tinct advantage to the importers in this 

 ruling. 



Statement by Board. 



The statement by the Federal Horti- 

 cultural Board in this matter reads: 



To facilitate the entry and distribution of the 

 importations of bullM at the principal ports 

 throngh which such material enters the United 

 States, the board has recently ordered that when 

 such shipments are entered at, or may con- 

 veniently pass through, any of the ports listed 

 in regulation 6 and New Orleans, La., end 

 Tacoma, Wash., now added to the list, all the 

 requirements of the regulations must t>e met at 

 such ports. This order applies both to ship- 

 ments of bulbs which are offered for final entry 

 at such listed porta and to shipments which 

 may be passed through these iwrts under imme- 

 diate transportation order in bond to interior 

 ports. 



At the ports of entry enumerated, inspection 

 and apm-oval for entry of bulbs by inspectors 

 of the Department of Agriculture has been au- 

 thorized by the several states as meeting the 

 conditions of notification and inspection of ship- 

 ments provided for in regulation 11 under 

 Quarantine No. 37, and this carries with it regu- 

 lation 12 as to marking of Interstate shipments 

 prior to inspection. After such inspection and 

 liberation of bulbs by an insi>ector of this de- 

 partment, such bulbs may be 8hlpi>ed by the 

 importer or his agent without further restric- 

 tions tmder Quarantine No. 37. 



This action with respect to bulbs at these 

 listed ports has been taken because it is im- 

 practicable In many, if not most, instances for 

 state inspectors to follow up the hundreds of 

 lots into which a large shipment of bulbs is 

 often broken before the elements of the ship- 

 ment reach final destination, and should i>rove 

 to be of distinct advantage to Importers, inas- 

 much as it will eliminate the necessity for 

 hundreds of notices of shipment, and often of 

 reshipment, of such bulbs, before the bnlbs 

 reach ultimate destination, or are inspected and 

 passed by a proper official of a state, terri- 

 tory or district of the United States. 



This order applies to the importation of bolbs 

 only. As noted above, all other nursery stock, 

 plants and seeds imported under regulation 3 

 must meet the conditions of regulations 11 and 

 12, as must also all bulb shipments for which 

 permits have been issued for other exterior 

 ports of entry or which must pass through such 

 ports to InterlOT i>orts of entry. 



With respect to the entry of bnlba at the 

 listed ports, the board, under date of Septem- 

 ber 20, issued substantially the following In- 

 stmctlons to its inspectors at these ports: 



"Hereafter the inspectors of the board at 

 the ports of Boston, New York, New Orleans, 

 San Francisco and Seattle, together with the 

 collectors of customs at such ports, will be 

 provided with copies of permits Issued for the 

 entry of bulbs. The notices of arrival called 

 for in regulation 10 must be submitted by the 

 permittee to such inspectors In accordance with 

 the general provisions of that regulation. 



"All bulb permits will be stamped 'Must be 

 held for Inspection at port of arrival.' The 

 permittee will be required to keep the importa- 

 tion together on the dock until it has been re- 

 leased by the inspector of the board. The in- 

 spector of the board will examine the ship- 

 ment at his earliest convenience for the pur- 

 pose of determining its agreement with the per-
