REGULATIONS ON SALE OF TREES. The regulations defining the area, outside the "fireblight area," to which the sending of certain plants is prohibited, to which reference was made at the meeting this week of the Horticultural Trades' Association, appeared in the Gazette of August 6th. They amend the original regulations of June 6th, 1927, "governing the removal of certain plants and bees from the North Island to the rest of Naw Zealand." The portions of the new regulations affecting Christchurch nurserymen set out that the area to which the sending of certain plants from the fireblight area is prohibited comprises the counties of Waimea, Marlborough, Kowai, Ashley, Oxford, Eyre, and Eangiora, and all boroughs and town districts in such counties. The plants, or any portion of them, that must not be sent from the fireblight area'to the prohibited area are: Any variety of apple, pear, quince, cotoneaster, medlar, or Crataegus (hawthorn); but they may be sent from the fireblight area to any other portion of the South Island if accompanied by a certificate, signed by an officer of the Department of Agriculture, and certifying that he has examined all the plants in the package and found them to be, to the best of his knowledge, clean and free from disease.
