INSPECTION OF PLANT-INTRODUCTION AND PROPAGATING GARDENS 
As heretofore, plants grown and distributed by the Bureau of Plant Industry 
from its plant-introduction and propagating gardens were inspected and certi- 
fied prior to shipment. Plants shipped from Mandan, N. Dak., Coconut Grove, 
Fla., and Chico, Calif., were inspected by officials of the States concerned, 
cooperating with this Bureau. Those distributed from Savannah, Ga., were 
examined by an inspector of this Bureau. Table 42 indicates the number of 
plants inspected and certified for distribution.

INTERCEPTIONS OF PROHIBITED AND RESTRICTED PLANTS AND PLANT 
PRODUCTS 
A record of the number of interceptions of prohibited and restricted plants 
and plant products appears in table 43. Many of these interceptions were 
found to harbor insect pests and plant diseases and many ethers, while showing 
no infestation or infection, must We considered potentially dangerous, as they 
came from countries where pests net present in this country are known to 
occur. 
Interceptions made at bridges, ferries, and crossings ;it the Mexican and 
Canadian border ports have all been considered as having been taken from 
baggage.
