PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, BRITISH MANDATE OF PALESTINE 
This summary of the plant-quarantine import restrictions of the British 
Mandate of Palestine 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. 
The summary was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, plant quarantine inspector 
of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, from the plant protection 
order of February 26, 1934, of the High Commissioner of Palestine, as amended 
by the plant protection orders of September 6 and 30, 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 itself should be 
consulted for the exact text.
