Gardenia growers in Hawaii who wish to
move cut blooms of gardenia interstate from Hawaii would be able to
do if the gardenias were produced in a growing area determined by
APHIS to be free of green scale and the cut blooms were inspected
by APHIS prior to interstate movement. Alternatively, cut blooms of
gardenia could be moved interstate from Hawaii if the blooms were
treated with irradiation prior to movement.
