Post Office Department, 
Third Assistant Postmaster General, 
WaslUngton, D. C, March 28, 1935. 
The State of Minnesota has been added to the list of States which have estab- 
lished white-pine blister-rust control areas, and, therefore, paragraph (c), 
regulation 3, and the appendix of the regulations governing the shipment of 
five-leafed pines, currant and gooseberry plants, appearing on pages 6 to 8, 
inclusive, of the January 1933 Supplement to the Postal Guide, have been 
amended to read as follows : 
Regulation 3. (c) No currant or gooseberry plants of any species or variety 
shall be moved or allowed to be moved interstate into any of the States of Con- 
necticut, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, 
New York, Rhode Island, or Vermont unless the container shall bear on the 
outside thereof a control-area permit issued by an inspector designated to act 
for the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine in such State. (See ap- 
pendix.) Such permits may be issued on condition that the plants are destined 
for points outside the legally established blister-rust control areas of the States 
concerned. 
(Then follows the appendix in full.)
