Nursery stock from countries which do 

 not maintain nursery stock inspection will 

 be admitted into the United States only for 

 experimental purposes and in limited quan- 

 tities, under special permit, through the 

 particular port designated in such permit. 

 (See regulation 5). Such nursery stock 

 must also, before delivery, be opened and 

 examined at port of entry by an inspector 

 of this Department, and cannot be entered 

 unless it is found to be free from plant 

 diseases and insect pests. 



Importers are therefore urgently advised 

 to limit their application for strictly com- 

 mercial imports to the countries listed be- 

 low. Any country not now on this list will 

 be placed there as soon as this department 

 has been officially notified of the compli- 

 ance of such country with the regulations 

 governing inspection and certification: 



Barbados, Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, 

 Cuba, Denmark, England, Prance, Germany, 

 Guatemala, Holland, Ireland, Japan, Luxem- 

 burg, Scotland, Switzerland, Trinidad.
