APPENDIX 
STATES WHICH HAVE LEGALLY ESTABLISHED BLISTER RUST CONTROL AREAS 
The following States have legally established blister rust control areas in 
which the planting and possession of currant and gooseberry plants is prohib- 
ited by State law or regulation. Before currant or gooseberry plants may bo 
shipped into the States listed each shipment must bear a control-area permit 
(form 415) from the officer named. Applications for such permits should state 
the kind of plants to be shipped and the names and addresses of the con- 
signor and consignee. Permits will not be issued for the movement of pro- 
hibited plants into blister rust control areas. 
In the case of shipments of five-leaved pines from infected States to or 
between the New England States and New York, regulation 2, A (1), provides 
that "a control-area permit secured from the proper officer of the State of desti- 
nation may, until further notice, be substituted for the Federal pine-shipping 
permit" required as to all other interstate shipments from infected States. 
This provision is made to enable the State concerned to record the locations of 
pine planted therein in order that provision may be made for the protection of 
the pine by Ribes eradication around the areas in which such planting is done.
