Le jardinier fleuriste, ou La culture universelle des 
fleurs, arbres, arbustes, arbrisseaxix servant I’embel- 
lissement des ;^ardin8. ,Paris, Beugni6, 1703. (Prit- 
zel, Ist ed,; Gibault (Etude), p,733) 
There is some doubt about the date of the 1st 
edition. Miltitz, col.294, and Seguier, p.377, 
give an imprint of Ams'^erdam, 1700, but Pritzel, 
1st ed., and Gibault, Etude (1905), who are good 
authorities, give nothing prior to 1703. Jacob, 
Ir his bibliography in Rept. Tulip Nomenclature 
Com., also gives 1703 as 1st ed., and says it is 
located in the Lindley Library. The Lindley cat¬ 
alog, however, does not list this ed. The earli¬ 
est given by Cat. Bib. Nat. is that of 1704. It 
may be that Seguier and Miltitz were misled by a 
typographical error in records of later editions, 
as the book was actually published at Amsterdam, 
1706 and 1708,
