motor truck from the District of Columbia, and parts of the States of Dela-
ware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Refrigerator cars
used for loading fruits and vegetables, other than onions and potatoes, in such
-area must, prior to loading, be cleaned by the common carrier and kept tightly
closed and sealed during the interval between cleaning and loading. Onions
-... and potatoes must be fumigated in the car when such action is deemed neces-
sary by the inspector, and doors and hatches of the cars must be closed or
screened. For other details and exceptions see regulation 5.
The regulations also prohibit the interstate shipment of plants, sand, soil,
earth, peat, compost, and manure from any part of the regulated areas to or
through any outside point throughout the year unless a Federal permit or
certificate has been secured. Portions of plants and cut flowers are restricted

S parts of the States of Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia. The boundaries are shown in
regulation 3.
These regulations also place certain restrictions to protect restricted articles
from infestation while in transit, require thorough cleaning of vehicles and
containers which have been used in transporting restricted products, and pro-
vide other safeguards and conditions as provided in regulations 8 to 13,
