ANNOUNCEMENT RELATING TO EUROPEAN PINE-SHOOT MOTH 
QUARANTINE (NO. 20) 
PINES, OTHER THAN FIVE-LEAF PINES, FROM EUROPE BROUGHT UNDER 
QUARANTINE 37 BY REVOCATION OF QUARANTINE 20 
INTRODUCTORY NOTE ' 
As promulgated March 1, 1915, effective July 1, 1915, Notice of Quarantine 
No. 20 prohibited the entry of all pines from Europe not already excluded 
by quarantine. The purpose of the quarantine was to prevent the further intro- 
duction of the European pine shoot moth. This insect is now established in 
certain areas of the eastern portion of the United States and, in view of the 
concurrent lifting of Notice of Quarantine No. 7 on account of the white-pine 
blister rust, it now seems desirable to revoke Quarantine No. 20. The entry of 
all pines from Europe thus automatically falls under the restrictions of Notice 
of Quarantine No. 37, the Nursery Stock, Plant, and Seed Quarantine.

Chief, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine.
