single decree. It has been prepared for the information of exporters of plants and 
plant products to that country, and plant quarantine officials.

No. 2745 of October 4, 1940, and was reviewed by Ing. Jose M. Santos, Director 
of Agriculture, Havana, Cuba.

to be used independently of, nor as a substitute for, the original text, and it is not 
to be interpreted as legally authoritative.
