Philippine Islands has been prepared for the information of nurserymen, plant- 
quarantine officials, and others interested in the exportation of plants and 
plant products from the United States to those islands. 
The summary was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, plant quarantine inspector 
of the Bureau of Plant Quarantine, from the texts of the following adminis- 
trative orders of the Philippine Bureau of Plant Industry: No. 10, approved 
April 25, 1932 ; no. 11, approved July 14, 1932, and no. 12, approved June 14,
