1 In addition to the seeds indicated in this table, 341 small mail packages of miscellaneous seeds were

Puerto Rico: 1,626 pounds of seeds of ornamentals and trees from the Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, 
India, and the Virgin Islands; into Hawaii the following: 3 packages and 158 pounds of nut and palm seeds, 
21 packages and 51 pounds of seeds of ornamentals and trees, and 3 packages of miscellaneous seeds from 
Australia, Canal Zone, Ceylon, China, Cuba, Fiji Islands, France, Germany, Guatemala, India, Japan, 
Marshall Islands, New Zealand, Philippine Islands, Samoa, Siam, Straits Settlements, and the Union of

In addition to the foregoing, there were imported from the Dominion of 
Canada under regulation 15, Quarantine No. 37, 8,859,163 bulbs, plants, trees, 
and cuttings, as compared with 119,990 during the fiscal year 1933. This 
enormous increase is attributable to the inclusion of 7,795,945 spruce seedlings 
and 850,053 pine seedlings (other than 5-leafed pines) for reforestation purposes. 
To authorize the importation of material under the provisions of said regulation, 
746 permits were issued during the fiscal year 1934, as compared with 696 permits 
issued during the fiscal 3^ear 1933.
