APPENDIX. 35 



CUBA. 



There are no special restrictions affecting the importation of fresh fruits. A law 

 promulgated on the 16th of July, 1906, subjects all citrus plants from other countries 

 to a strict fumigation. In the absence of facilities for this fumigation, the governor 

 decreed, on October 30, 1906, as a temporary measure until said service could be 

 established, that plants from Florida be admitted if they come accompanied by a 

 certificate of an official entomologist guaranteeing that they are free from injurious 

 insects. (Regulation still in force, December 28, 1908.) 



DENMARK. 



Importation of potatoes or parts thereof from North America is prohibited. (Decree 

 of January 28, 1876.) 



There are no other special restrictions affecting the importation of living plants, 

 fresh fruits, etc. 



FRANCE. 



Prohibits (decree of November 30, 1898) entry into and passing through France of 

 trees, shrubs, products of nurseries, all nursery cuttings, and all other plants or parts 

 of living plants, as well as fresh debris from them, from the United States, as- well as 

 cases, sacks, etc., used for packing. 



Also, prohibits fresh fruit and debris when examination proves presence of insects 

 at entry into France. 



This decree, according to the minister of agriculture, is still in force. (March 8, 

 1909.) 



GERMANY. 



Prohibits (decree of February 5, 1898) the importation of living plants and parts of 

 living plants from America, and barrels, boxes, etc., used for packing; also fresh fruits 

 or fresh parts of fruits, when examination at port of entry shows presence of San Jose 

 scale. The imperial chancellor is authorized to grant exceptions. 



Amended (act of July 10, 1900) by annulling the regulation providing that dried 

 and evaporated fruits from the United States be inspected. Such fruits are now 

 admitted without other charge than customs duty. 



By decree of August 16, 1900, the restrictions of the decree of February 5, 1898, are 

 made applicable to Japan; and also, by decree of June 3, 1907, to Australia. List of 

 places at the boundary where plants may be introduced will be found in Circular No. 41 

 of the Bureau of Entomology. 



GREECE. 



Seeds of all description and bulbs only from Holland are allowed to be imported 

 into Greece. The importation of fresh fruits, except from the island of Crete, is pro- 

 hibited. 



GUATEMALA. 



There are no special restrictions affecting the importation of living plants, fresh 

 fruits, etc. 



HAITI. 



There are no special restrictions affecting the importation of living plants, fresh 

 fruits, etc. 



ITALY. 



Laws are in force relative to importation of grapevines, grape cuttings, etc., likely 

 to harbor Phylloxera. Other classes of nursery stock and fresh fruit are apparently 

 subject only to customs duty.
