'ew Jersey Llonthly Letter, Bureau of Entomology, Ho. lol (September, 1927): 
C"7in^ to the fact that the activities of the adult Japanese beetl- 
"nave ceased for the present season, it -vas possible on October 1 
to lift the Quarantine reflations covering farm prod^icts. Ho 
beetles have.. been found, in any farm products inspected in the 
last week of September. Qfoiaag to the unusually cool nights, the 
few beetles remaining at 1 a number of points within the infested 
area, have shown a tendency to crawl down into f lo we r- blossoms for 
protection, dahlias being favored in this respect. Since a con- 
siderable Quantity of cut flo-ers are still being shipped from tte 
regulated area to outside points, it has bean considered impracti- 
cable tc permit the unrestricted movement of those articles, as 1 
result, the ! iuarartine restrictions requiring inspection and certi 
fication o._ cut flo-ers are being ospt in effect until October 15, 
■the maximum limit of the Quarantine on far-, products and cut 
flowers. Three large shipments of pare site .aaterial were receivec 
at the laboratory in September. One 01 these, a consignment of 
Tiphia from India, -as- taken from -the boat at Boston and rushed t< 
Rivertor. by messenger,, thus 'saving considerable time which other - 
•Tire vould have been, consumed between these t-o points. ;
