PLANT QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, ISLAND OF CYPRUS 
This summary of the plant quarantine import restrictions of Cyprus has been 
prepared for the information of nurserymen, plant quarantine officials, and others 
interested in the exportation of plants and plant products to that island. 
The summary was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, plant quarantine inspector 
of this Bureau, from orders of the Governor in Council, No. 1054, of May 13, 
1925; No. 1305, of May 20, 1929; and No. 1421, of April 23, 1931. 
The information contained in this circular is believed to be correct and com- 
plete up to the time of preparation, but it is not intended to be used independently 
of, nor as a substitute for, the original texts of the decrees, and it is not to be 
interpreted as legally authoritative. The decrees themselves should be consulted 
for the exact text.
