Washington, June 1, 1936. 
The State of Idaho has reestablished places for terminal inspection under 
the provisions of the act of March 4," 1915, embodied in section 596, Postal Laws 
and Regulations, of the following plants and plant products: 
"All florists' stock, trees, shrubs, vines, cuttings, grafts, scions, buds, fruit 
pits and other seeds of fruit and ornamental trees or shrubs, and other plants 
and plant products in the raw or unmanufactured state, except vegetable and 
flower seeds: Provided, That this list of plants and plant products shall not 
apply to plants and plant products shipped either under the certificate of the 
Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine of the United States Department 
of Agriculture or of the Idaho State Department of Agriculture." 
All postmasters are. therefore, informed that packages containing any plants 
or plant products addressed to places in the State of Idaho may be accepted for 
mailing only when plainly marked so that the contents may be readily ascer- 
tained by an inspection of the outside thereof. The law makes the failure so 
to mark such parcels an offense punishable by a fine of not more than $100. 
Postmasters within the State of Idaho shall be governed strictly by the provi- 
sions of paragraphs 3, 4, 5, and 6, section 596, Postal Laws and Regulations, in 
the treatment of all packages addressed for delivery at their offices containing 
any of the plants or plant products above described as subject to terminal 
inspection. 
Inspection service is maintained at the places in Idaho named below, and all 
postmasters in that State shall, after receiving the required postage therefor, 
under the provisions of section 596, Postal Laws and Regulations, send to the 
nearest inspection point each package containing plants or plant products sub- 
ject to terminal inspection: 
Blackfoot. Jerome. Pocatello. 
Boise. Lewiston. Rathdrum. 
Bonners Ferry. Moscow. Rupert. 
Burley. Nampa. St. Anthony. 
Caldwell. New Plymouth Sandpoint. 
Emmett. Parma. Twin Falls. 
Idaho Falls. Payette. Weiser. 
Owing to the perishable character of plants and plant products, the packages 
containing such matter must be given prompt attention. 
Any failure of compliance with the foregoing instructions or with the provi- 
sions* of section 596, Postal Laws and Regulations, coming to the attention of 
any postmaster should be reported to the Third Assistant Postmaster General, 
Division of Classification.
