THE VIIiMORIN MANAGEMENT. 



In The Eeview of July 12 a notice 

 was printed of the death of Philippe de 

 Vilmorin, head of Vilmorin-Andrieux 

 & Co., Paris, probably the most widely 

 known seed house in the world. From 

 Eugene Schaettel, who is known person- 

 ally to many American seedsmen, comes 

 the following paragraph with regard to 

 the future management of the busi- 

 ness: 



"The firm will continue unchanged 

 under the management of Jacques de 

 Vilmorin, son of Maurice de Vilmorin, 

 the late Henry de Vilmorin 's broth- 

 er, who has been associated with the 

 firm for a number of years; of Count de 

 Estienne, Philippe's brother-in-law, 

 who has been a partner in the business 

 for eighteen years; of A. Henry and E. 

 Schaettel. Louis de Vilmorin, who spent 

 some time in the United States before 

 the war and , on, account of his genial 

 character grew 80 popular there, will 

 soon enter the firm as an associate and 

 Vilmorin 's friends may rest assured 

 that the firm's motto will ever remain 

 as for nearly 200 years: Most scrupu- 

 lous honesty and straight and square 

 dealings. ' ' 



CATALOGUES NOT EXEMPTED. 



A study of the text of the Senate 

 war revenue bill, not yet law and sub- 

 ject to many changes, fails to reveal 

 an exemption for catalogues in the mat- 

 ter of the stamp tax on parcel post ship- 

 ments. The paragraph relating to the 

 parcel post is as follows: 



Parcpl post packages: Upon erery parcel or 

 package weighing more tlian four ounces trans- 

 ported from one point in tlie United States to 

 anotiier by parcel post, a tax of 1 cent for each 

 25 cents or fractional part thereof charged for 

 such transportation, to be paid by the consignor. 



No such parcel or package shall be trans- 

 ported until a stamp or stamps representing the 

 tax due shall have been affixed thereto.

 Otherwise there appears to be no change 

 affecting postal affairs. 



With reference to the tax on cata- 

 logues W. F. Therkildson, chairman 

 of the Seed Trade Association's com- 

 mittee on postal affairs, writes: 



"Referring to my telegram of Au- 

 gust 6, I am exceedingly sorry to re- 

 port that I was in error relative to the 

 amended revenue bill. 



"In my first advice from Senator 

 Penrose he stated plainly that cata- 

 logues had been exempted and that all 

 other parcel post matter four ounces 

 and under was exempted. Thinking 

 that Senator Penrose had given me the 

 riglit information, I immediately wired 

 The Eeview that catalogues had been 

 exempted. Having received the amend- 

 ment clause, it shows plainly that the
