tion according to the method to be proscribed by the inspector, which is in- 
dicated above. The plant concerned may be owned, or contracted for, by the 
permittee. Applicants for permits to import narcissus bulbs are asked to state, 
when submitting the application for permit, the point and premises at which 
they propose to have the bulbs treated, naming the owner of the plant. 
Furthermore, before an inspector will authorize the release of imported bulbs 
to such plant for treatment, the owner or operator of the treating plant will be 
asked to certify to the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine at Wash- 
ington, D. C, that the plant is in good working order and will be available for 
use in treating the importation. 
Shipments not to be treated at or in the vicinity of the port of first arrival 
may be released for movement in bond to the customs port nearest the premises 
at which the treatment is to be given. Shipments released from a port for de- 
livery to a treating plant are to be held intact until the permittee has been 
instructed by a representative of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quaran- 
tine to proceed with the treatment. 
All charges incident to such hot-water treatment are to be met by the importer 
or owner, but there will be no charges for the services of a plant quarantine 
inspector to supervise the treatment.

Chief, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine. 
NOTICE OF PERMIT REQUIREMENT FOR THE ENTRY OF SEEDS OF LATHYRUS 
AND VICIA 
It has been determined by the Secretary of Agriculture that sweet pea 
(Lathijrus sp. ) and vetch (Vicia spp.) seeds imported into this country are 
frequently infested with one or more species of seed weevils, Bruchus spp., in- 
cluding B. brachialis Fahr., B. rufipes Hbst., and B. tristiculus Fahr. B. ora- 
chialis is reported as established in only a limited area of this country, and 
B. rufipes and B. tristiculus are not recorded as occurring in the United States. 
Lathy r us and Vicia seeds at present are admitted without inspection in accord- 
ance with the provisions of regulation 2 of the Rules and Regulations Supple- 
mental to Nursery Stock, Plant, and Seed Quarantine No. 37. Since no inspec- 
tion is made of these seeds to determine the presence of injurious insects and 
consequently no treatment is given to eliminate such infestations when they 
exist, importations of these seeds constitute a pest risk. Their further entry, 
therefore, shall meet the requirements governing the entry of tree and shrub 
seeds. 
Notice is, therefore, hereby given, in accordance with the provisions of regula- 
tion 2 of the Rules and Regulations Supplemental to Notice of Quarantine No. 
37, that the seeds of all species and varieties of Lathijrus and Vicia may be im- 
ported from any foreign country and locality on and after August 1, 1936, only 
under permit and upon the compliance with the provisions for the entry of tree 
and shrub seeds, the importation of which is restricted by regulation 3 of the 
regulations referred to above. 
Done in the city of Washington this 20th clay of July, 1936. 
Witness my hand and the seal of the United States Department of Agriculture.
