PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, FRENCH MANDATE OF SYRIA 
This summary of the plant-quaratine import restrictions of the French 
mandate of Syria has been prepared for the information of nurserymen, 
plant-quarantine officials, and others interested in the exportation of plauts 
and plant products to that country. 
The summary was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, plant-quarantine inspector 
of the Bureau of Plant Quarantine, from his translation of the French text 
of the order of the French High Commission of Syria, No. 248, of April 19, 
1934. 
The information contained in this circular is believed to be correct and 
complete up to the time of its preparation, but it is not intended to be used 
independently of, nor as a substitute for, the original text of the order, and it 
is not to be interpreted as legally authoritative. The order should be con- 
sulted for the exact text. 
Avery S. Hoyt, 
Acting Chief, Bureau of Plant Quarantine.
