PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, GERMANY 
San Jose Scale Restrictions 
citrus fruits and nuts to be inspected for san jose scale 
The order of the German Federal Minister of Nourishment and Agriculture 
of March 27, 1934 (R. F. M., Mar. 27, 1934— Z 1101—246 II), as modified by 
those of April 9 (R. F. M., Apr. 9, 1934— Z 1101—275 II), and May 15, 1934 
(R. F. M., May 15, 1934— Z 1101—364 II), prescribes that henceforth oranges, 
mandarins (tangerines), and lemons may be imported only on condition that 
an inspection of the shipment at the port of entry at the expense of the inter- 
ested person does not determine infestation or suspicion of infestation with San 
Jose scale. 
The above applies only to the products of those countries from which the 
importation of deciduous fruits is specially restricted to prevent the introduc- 
tion of San Jose scale. Consequently the inspection of these citrus fruits from 
Italy and Spain is not necessary. 
Importation of these fruits is permitted only through customs offices author- 
ized for the entry of deciduous fruits. 
The order of March 15, 1934 (R. F. M., Mar. 15, 1934— Z 1101—216 II), 
prescribes that walnuts and other nuts (hazel, Brazil, etc.), which, without 
green husks, are imported as commercial, dried merchandise, are not subject 
to inspection for San Jose scale, even when the separated remains of the outer 
husk still adhere to the nuts. On the other hand, occasional shipments of 
unripe and of mature nuts imported with husks still green must be inspected.

PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, REPUBLIC OF CZECHOSLOVAKIA 
This summary of the plant-quarantine import restrictions of the Republic 
of Czechoslovakia has been prepared for the information of nurserymen, plant- 
quarantine officials, and others interested in the exportation of plants and 
plant products to that country. 
It was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, plant quarantine inspector of the Bu- 
reau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, from his translation of the German 
text of Governmental decree no. 168, December 13, 1927, of the Republic of 
Czechoslovakia, on the administration of the tariff law, and reviewed by the 
Ministry of Agriculture of that Republic. 
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 inde- 
pendently of, nor as a substitute for, the original text of the decree, and it 
is not to be interpreted as legally authoritative. The decree itself should be 
consulted for the exact text.

Chief, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine.
