The earliest English garden list that has been published is that 

 of the Holborn garden of John Gerard, which, first printed in 1596 

 and again in 1599, has been re-edited in a valuable form by my 

 friend Dr. Daydon Jackson in 1876. One of the first results of the 

 re-examination of the Goodyer books and papers was the recognition 

 of one of his manuscripts as a very early list of the garden of the 

 Rev. Walter Stonehouse at Darfield Rectory in Yorkshire,! 640-1644. 

 By the courtesy of the editor of the Gardeners' Chronicle, this was 

 printed in full in the numbers of that Journal for May 15, 22, 29 

 and June 12, 1920. No sooner had this list been identified than in 

 the same collection of papers, several other garden lists were found 

 that successively antedated the Stonehouse list and one another, 

 and finally gave the clue to the finding of the list of a garden that 

 is probably older than that of Gerard. 



First in importance is the unique copy of the printed plant list of 

 the Lambeth garden of the elder John Tradescant, in which more 

 than 750 plants are named. It is the only work known to have 

 been printed for the author in his lifetime : it is dated 1634. 



Then were found short lists of the gardens of John Franqueville 

 and George Gibbes of Bath, both extending the list of plants
