GARDEN LISTS 



The existence of a printed list of plants grown by the elder 

 Tradescant in his Lambeth garden appears to have been quite 

 unknown to bibliographers until the recataloguing of the Goodyer 

 Library once more drew attention to this unique possession, which 

 I had the pleasure of describing in the Joiirnal of Botany in 1930. 

 It is of course possible that the little book was never published, and 

 that the copy in the Magdalen Library is to be regarded as a proof 

 of a work that was never put into circulation. And this view 

 derives some support from a glaring grammatical mistake on the 

 title-page, which we reproduce. No printer of repute would have 

 permitted such a blunder to issue from his pr^ss.
