M. van Waveren & Sons, Ltd., Hillegon 

 (Holland). 



We are informed that this old estab- 

 lished firm has appointed as managing 

 directors, Messrs. W. A. Philippo and 

 C. de Wreede, who have both held 

 leading positions in the firm for many 

 years. 



Mr. Philippo has made frequent 

 visits to the United States until three 

 years ago and Is well known to the 

 seedhouses in the East. Mr. T. van 

 Waveren under whose leadership the 

 business has flourished and attained 

 its present prominent position in the 

 horticultural trade, will as before de- 

 vote his energies toward its further 

 development, as president of the com- 

 pany. 



This firm established a branch office 

 in New York many years ago, which 

 was incorporated in 1916 with H. 

 Langeler as managing director. 



Washington, D. C— The so-called 

 Barkley misbranding bill, now pend- 

 ing in the House of Representatives, 

 Is to be amended so as to relieve 

 shippers of indistinguishable seeds 

 and nursery stocks from its penalty 

 provisions. This action is to be taken 

 by Congressman Alben H. Barkley. the 

 author of the bill, following the re- 

 ceipt by him of a number of requests 

 from those engaged in this business 

 who fear that the bill as it now reads 

 will work a great injustice and hard- 

 ship upon them. The amendment will 

 exempt seeds, roots, bulbs, or ntirsery 

 stock indistinguishable by their ap- 

 pearance and unintentionally misla- 

 beled from the penalties provided for 

 violations of the proposed law. 



We have harvested this Autumn a satisfactory crop of
