La Quintinie, Jean de,^« Traits de la culture des Grangers* 
This is included in all French editions of La Ouintinie 
and in the English versions, beginning with Evel 3 m’s "Corapleat 
gard’ner” of 1693* It moreover forms the basis of Van Oosten’s 
section on citrus in his ”De nieuwe nederlandse bloemhof" (Ley¬ 
den, 1700)* This Dutch treatise was successively rendered into 
English in Van Oosten’s "Dutch gardener" (London, 1705)j into 
German in his "Der niederlUndische garten" (Hannover Tfolf- 
fenbUttel, 1706); and back again into French in his "Le jardin 
de Hollande" (Leide, 1714), and was apparently little changed 
in the various editions of Van Oosten’s book* 
Oeffening en gebruik van de limoen en orange boomen* In 
Oosten, Hendryck van* De nieuwe nederlandse bloemhof* Ley¬ 
den, 1700* 
Altho this edition has not been carefully exam¬ 
ined by MW, we gather from the data of Mr* Bunyard, 
and from comparison of the English and German eds* 
of Van Oosten, both probably made from the original 
Dutch, that this treatise is chiefly taken from La 
Quintinie* The material of the original is rather 
condensed, and a few sections have been added, such 
as a chapter on diseases, etc*, prevalent in the Low 
Countries, but it may be considered a translation of 
La Quintinie rather than an original work* 
An account of the sowing, up-bringing, and use of orange- 
trees* In Oosten, Hendryck van* The Dutch gardener; or. The 
compleat florist* London, D* Midwinter and T* Leigh, 1703* 
p*239—290* 
As the text of the later English edition of Van 
Oosten, London, 1711, is rather differently distrib¬ 
uted, there may have been some changes in the tract 
on citrus culture, which have never been checked* 
Abhandlung von dem stten, fortpflantzen und der pflegtmg der 
orangen- und limonien-bttume* In Oosten, Hendryck van* Der 
NiederlSndische garten* Hannover und WolffenbtJttel, G* Frey- 
1706 * 68 p* 
Reprinted without apparent change in German ed* 
of Leipzig, 1791, and probably in all German eds* 
Trait§ de la culture des Grangers et des citronniers, sui- 
vant le climat de Hollande et des Pays-Bas* In Oosten, Hen¬ 
dryck van* Le jardin de Hollande* Leide, Jean du Vivier, 
1714* p*309-392. 
Same in French edition of Amsterdam, 1721* 
Verhandeling van het voortkweeken der oranje- on limoen- ■ 
boomen* In Oosten, Hendfyck van* De naavrwkeurige bloemist, 
of De nieuwe nederlandsche bloemhof* 7* verm* druk* Amster¬ 
dam, bij W* Brave, junior [1792?] p*209-268. 
This has never been compared withe the Ist Dutch 
version in the edition of Leyden, 1700, and the dif¬ 
ference in the title of the volume suggests the pos¬ 
sibility of changes throughout the entire volume*
