1936] SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS 83 
B. E. P. Q. 405 (Superseding B. r. Q. 302, Revised) 
PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, GERMANY 
June 26, 1936. 
A revision of Circular B. P. Q. 302, revised, became necessary because the 
original San Jose scale decrees of the German Empire have been superseded 
by the decree of November 3, 1931, and its regulatory order of November 26, 
1931, and subsequent amendatory orders, restricting or prohibiting the impor- 
tation of plains from the United States, among other countries, to prevent the 
introduction of San Jose scale and the apple maggot, and providing for the 
entry of fresh fruits from the United States if found free from San Jose scale 
(Aspidiotus pemieiosus Comst.) and the apple maggot or fruit fly (Rhagoletis 
pomonella Walsh). 
This revised summary was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, plant-quarantine in- 
spector, in charge of Foreign Information Service, Division of Foreign Plant 
Quarantines, from his translations of the original texts, and reviewed by the 
German Ministry of Nourishment and Agriculture for the information of nur- 
serymen, plant quarantine officials, and others interested in the exportation of 
plants and plant products from the United States to Germany. 
The information contained in this circular is believed to he correct and com- 
plete up to the time of preparation, hut it is not intended to be used independ- 
ently of, nor as a substitute for, the original texts ; and it is not to be inter- 
preted as legally authoritative. The German texts should he consulted.
