The summary, in translation, reads as follows :

articles: Potatoes, cereals of all kinds, fruits and vegetables of all kinds, 
greenhouse and open-air plants and shrubs.

PHYTOSANITARY CERTIFICATE REQUIRED 
However, the phylloxera regulations promulgated by the Order of August 20, 
1886, prescribe that trees and plants from abroad must be accompanied by a 
certificate of competent authority affirming that they proceed from nurseries 
that are free from injurious insects and plant diseases. Otherwise, they are 
subject to inspection, and infested shipments may be reladen for return to the 
country of origin, disinfected, or burned. 
CERTIFICATE REQUIRED FOR POTATOES, TOMATOES, AND EGGPLANTS 
The Order of September 24, 1923, prescribes that potatoes, and the fruits and 
plants of tomatoes and eggplants will be admitted to entry and transit only 
when accompanied by a certificate issued by the phytopathological service of 
the country of origin, affirming that those products proceed from a district free 
from the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decenilineata Say) and from the 
potato wart (Synchytrium endooioticum (Schilb.) Perc). Products grown in, 
and shipped from, a locality at least 20 kilometers from any infestation of 
Leptinotarsa are considered to be from an exempt district.

PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, BRITISH COLONY AND 
PROTECTORATE OF SIERRA LEONE 
This summary of the plant-quarantine import restrictions of the British 
Colony and Protectorate of Sierra Leone has been prepared for the information 
of nurserymen, plant quarantine officials, and others interested in the exporta- 
tion of plants and plant products to that Colony. 
It was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, plant quarantine inspector, in Charge 
of Foreign Service Information, Division of Foreign Plant Quarantines, from 
the original text of the Destructive Pests Ordinance, 1924, revision of 1925, 
and orders promulgated thereunder, and reviewed by the Director of Agriculture 
of Sierra Leone. 
The information contained in this circular is believed to be correct and 
complete 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, and it is not to be 
interpreted as legally authoritative.

Acting Chief, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine.
