Introductory Note Inspection of fruits and vegetables of fered for entry from Newfoundland dur ing the period since the promulgation of Quarantine No. 56 the Fruit and Vege table Quarantine, effective November 1, 1923, indicates that importations of fruits and vegetables from Newfoundland can be safely permitted on a basis com parable to those from Canada. The present revision of the regulations sup plemental to Quarantine No. 56 is made therefore to place the entry of fruits and vegetables from Newfoundland and its mainland territory of. Labrador on the same status as those from Canada, with the exception of potatoes, which have long been and still are excluded from Newfoundland on account of potato wart.
