 PMNT-.QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS 
 
 OF 
 
 FERNANDO PO AND SPANISH GUINEA 
 
 This digest of the plant-quarantine import restrictions 
 of Fernando Po and Spanish Guinea has been prepared for the in- 
 formation of nurserymen, plant-quarantine officials, and others 
 interested in the exportation of plants and plant products to 
 those Territories. 
 
 It was prepared by Harry B- Shaiv, Plant Quarantine In- 
 spector, in charge, Foreign Information Service, of the Division 
 of Foreign Plant Quarantines, from the original text of the Royal 
 Order of September 13, 1929. 
 
 The infonnation contained in this circular is believed to 
 be correct and complete up to the time of preparation, but it is 
 not intended to be used independently of, nor as a substitute for, 
 the original text, and it is not to be interpreted as legally 
 authoritative.
