NURSERY STOCK, PLANT, AND SEED QUARANTINE (NO. 37) 
ENTRY OF NARCISSUS BULBS FOR PROPAGATION IN THE FALL OF 1929 
P. Q. C. A.— 223. Apeil 10, 1929. 
It is evident that the bulb growers of this country have now had ample 
opportunity to import narcissus bulbs in sufficient quantity to meet propaga- 
tion requirements, and hence there is no further need for the present limit 
of 100,000 bulbs per variety. 
In order to reduce the pest risk to the minimum, it is ordered that, beginning 
with the season 1929, importations of narcissus bulbs shall be limited to a 
total of 25,000 bulbs in any one year. This total may include any number of 
varieties and permits. This limitation shall not apply to the Chinese sacred 
lily (narcissus), but the quantities of this variety authorized are to be in- 
dicated in the permit. 
On the ground that it is believed that the following varieties are adequately 
available in the United States to meet essential propagation needs and that 
it is therefore unnecessary to accept the pest risk which accompanies their en- 
try, further permits shall be refused for the following varieties: Glory of 
Sassenheim, Laurens Koster, King Alfred, Paperwhite, Sir Watkin, Soleil d'Or, 
and Spring Glory. 
From present indications, it would appear that there will be no need for 
further importations for propagation stock of Gloriosa, Minister Talma, Pheas- 
ant's Eye (Poeticus recurvus) and Tresserve after the importing season 1929. 
On the basis of the applications now on file or those later received, special 
permits for the importation of narcissus bulbs in the fall of 1929 will be issued 
as promptly as possible in accordance with the above limitations. 
The attention of all persons who are now growing narcissus bulbs imported 
under special permit for propagation, namely, the imports of the crops of 1927 
and 1928, is called to the fact that before further permits can be issued to 
such persons, the administration must have on file either a map or a statement 
showing the exact location where the bulbs are being grown. Moreover, the 
plantings of all such importations must be appropriately labeled with permit 
number so as to maintain their identity.

Disease 12 
[Press notice] 
May 6, 1929. 
The Secretary of Agriculture has announced the establishment of a quaran- 
tine, effective June 1, 1929, on the States of Georgia and Alabama to prevent the 
spread of the phony peach disease. 
Under the provisions of this quarantine, restrictions are placed on the inter- 
state movement from the regulated areas of peach and nectarine trees, peach 
and nectarine roots, and all other trees and shrubs grafted or budded on peach 
or nectarine roots. The areas affected cover 64 counties of central and western 
Georgia and 1 county of eastern Alabama as follows : Baker, Baldwin, Barrow, 
Bibb, Bleckley, Butts, Calhoun, Chattahoochee, Chattooga, Clarke, Clayton, 
Coweta, Crawford, Crisp, DeKalb, Dooly, Dougherty, Fayette, Fulton, Greene, 
Gwinnett, Hancock, Harris, Henry, Houston, Jackson, Jasper, Jones, Lamar, 
Laurens, Lee, Macon, Marion, Meriwether, Mitchell, Monroe, Morgan, Muscogee, 
Newton, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Peach, Pike, Pulaski, Putnam, Quitman, Randolph, 
Rockdale, Schley, Spalding, Stewart, Sumter, Talbot, Taliaferro, Taylor, Terrell, 
Troup, Twiggs, Upson, Walton, Washington, Webster, Wilkinson, and Worth 
Counties in Georgia ; and Lee County in Alabama. 
The shipment of peach, nectarine, and other restricted trees, or peach and 
nectarine roots interstate from the regulated areas will, under this quarantine, 
be conditioned on the securing of a permit from the United States Department 
of Agriculture. Such permits are to be issued only to nurseries " within which 
and within 1 mile of which no infection of the phony peach disease has existed 
for at least two years prior to the proposed date of movement." Applications
