BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY AND PLANT QUARANTINE

The record of entry under special permits issued under the provisions of 
regulation 14 of Quarantine No. 37 for the purpose of keeping the country sup- 
plied with new varieties and necessary propagating stock and for educational, 
experimental, or scientific purposes is shown by States in table 29. A total of 
3,273,021 plants, bulbs, cuttings, etc., were imported, as compared with 2,624,694 
in 1935. Increased importations were noted in all classes except narcissus, rose, 
and fruit, which decreased. The largest rate of increase is in importations of 
gladiolus; 637,908, or 332 percent, more gladiolus corms and cormels were im- 
ported in 1936 than in 1935. The largest rate of decrease is in rose; 22,961, or 
77 percent, less rose plants and cuttings were imported in 1936 than in 1935. 
In 1836 more special permits were issued than in 1935, or any other previous 
year since Quarantine No. 37 was promulgated. The increase in the number of 
importations authorized entry as cargo and baggage brought about a decrease in 
the authorization for entry of this material by mail from 63 percent of the total 
in 1935 to approximately 57 percent in 1936.
