May 6, 1937. 
This digest of the plant-quarantine import restrictions of the French colony 
of Algeria has been prepared for the information of nurserymen, plant-qnarantine 
officials, and others interested in the exportation of plants and plant products 
to that colony. 
It was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, plant quarantine inspector, in charge, 
Foreign Information Service, Division of Foreign Plant Quarantines, from his 
translations of the French texts of the decrees and orders concerned, and re- 
viewed by the plant protection service of Algeria (la defense des cultures). 
The information included in this circular is believed to be correct and com- 
plete up to the time of preparation, but it is not intended to be used inde- 
pendently of, nor as a substitute for, the original texts of the pertinent de- 
<crees and orders. Those documents should be consulted for the exact texts.
