Q. 578-33 March 18, 1952 SUMMARY OF STATE NURSERY -STOCK SHIPPING REQUIREMENTS AND PLANT QUARANTINES AND REGULATIONS AFFECTING INTERSTATE SHIPMENTS NEW YORK The information contained in this summary was compiled from material received from the plant quarantine official of New York and has been ap- proved by him. It is issued for the convenience of plant quarantine in- spectors, shippers, transportation agents, truckers, and others concerned in the interstate movement of plants, plant products, and other materials subject to State regulation on account of plant pests. The summary for New York gives the general requirements for shipping nursery stock into that State, as well as digests of the State plant quar- antines and regulations affecting interstate shipments. An appendix fur- nishes information on post-office requirements for mailing plants, as well as terminal -inspection procedure. This summary does not include digests of nursery -stock or plant -quarantine requirements relating to the movement of plants entirely within the State. The information 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 or as a substitute for the original texts of the regulations and quarantines, and it is not to be interpreted as legally authoritative. For detailed information address the Director, Bureau of Plant Industry, State Department of Agriculture and Markets, Albany 1, New York. In addition to State requirements, shippers will need to take into consideration applicable plant quarantines of the United States Department of Agriculture. In most instances these quarantines regulate the inter- state movement of specified plants, plant products, and other articles from designated regulated areas. However, some of these quarantines regu- late the interstate movement of certain articles into designated protected areas. Copies of such quarantines may be obtained from the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, Washington 25, D. C.
