54 BUREAU OF PLANT QUARANTINE 
[July-Sept. 
States, and the present revision substantially meets their recommendations 
as well as those of the pathologists of the Bureau of Plant Industry. 
SUMMARY 
The infected States and District are designated as Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa, 
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hamp 
shire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, 
Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of 
Columbia. [Regulation 1 (g).] 
PINE SHIPMENTS 
These regulations as now revised require a Federal pine-shipping permit 
(see regulation 2, sec. A) for the shipment or transportation of 5-leafed pines 
from any infected State or District, except that in the case of shipments to or 
between the States of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, 
New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont, a control-area permit secured from 
the proper officer of the State of destination may, until further notice, be sub- 
stituted for the Federal pine-shipping permit. 
Pine-shipping permits are issued for pines grown from seed in a nursery which 
is protected from blister-rust infection by a Ribes-free zone around the premises. 
(See regulation 2, sec. B.) 
Valid State nursery inspection certificates are also required as to all interstate 
movement of 5-leafed pines in the United States. 
CURRANT AND GOOSEBERRY SHIPMENTS 
The interstate movement of European black-currant plants (and plants of 
the wild native western species known as Ribes bracteosum and R. petiolare) is 
prohibited except to and between the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, 
Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, 
South Dakota, and Texas. (See regulation 3-a.) 
Currant and gooseberry plants shipped from any infected State or District 
must be either dormant and defoliated or else dipped in lime-sulphur solution 
(4.5° B.) immediately before shipment. (See regulation 3-6.) 
The former control-area provision is continued and is extended to Vermont. 
Under that requirement a control-area permit must be secured from the State 
of destination for shipments of currant and gooseberry plants into those States 
which have legally established areas in which the growing of currant and goose- 
berry plants is prohibited. Such States are Connecticut, Idaho, Maine, Massa- 
chusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. 
(See regulation 3-c.)

NOTICE OF QUARANTINE NO. 63 
( Approved August 27, 1926; effective October 1, 1926. Supersedes Quarantine No. 26 as amended, and 
Quarantine No. 54 as extended) 
I, C. F. Marvin, Acting Secretary of Agriculture, have determined that it 
is necessary to quarantine every State of the continental United States and 
the District of Columbia, in order to prevent the spread of the white-pine blister 
rust {Cronartium ribicola Fischer), a dangerous plant disease not heretofore widely 
prevalent or distributed within and throughout the United States. 
Now, therefore, under authority conferred by the plant quarantine act of 
August 20, 1912 (37 Stat. 315), as amended by the act of Congress approved 
March 4, 1917 (39 Stat. 1134, 1165), and having duly given the public hearing 
required thereby, I do quarantine every State in the continental United States 
and the District of Columbia, effective on and after October 1, 1926. Hereafter, 
under the authority of said act of August 20, 1912, amended as aforesaid, no 
5-leafed pines (Pinus) or currant and gooseberry plants (Ribes and Grossularia, 
including cultivated or wild or ornamental sorts) shall be moved or allowed to be 
moved from any such State or from the District of Columbia into or through 
any other State in the continental United States or the District of Columbia, 
except in manner or method or under conditions prescribed in the rules and regula-
