PLANT-QUARANTINE RESTRICTIONS, REPUBLIC OF ARGENTINA 
This summary of the plant quarantine import restrictions of the Republic of 
Argentina has been prepared for the information of nurserymen, plant quar- 
antine 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 Plant Quarantine, from his translations of the original texts 
«of Argentine plant quarantine decrees, and reviewed by the Direccion de 
Defensa Agricola y Sanidad Vegetal, Ministerio de Agricultura, Buenos Aires, 
Argentina. 
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 independ- 
ently of, nor as a substitute for, the original texts of the decree, and it is 
not to be interpreted as legally authoritative. The decrees themselves should 
foe consulted for the exact text.

Acting Chief, Bureau of Plant Quarantine.
