Boyceau de la Baraudière, Jacques (cont.)

-----  Traité du jardinage, qui enseigne les ouvrages
qu'il faut faire pour avoir un jardin dans sa perfection,
avec la manière de faire les pépiniéres, greffer, enter,
cultiver, &c. Paris, C. de Sercy, 1688. 152 p. 16°. 
(Boston Pub. Lib.)

Above title, quoted from Seguier, Bib. Bot.,
p.342, is same as those of later eds. The 1689
and 1707 issues seem to be precisely identical
with the above, having the same paging, and the
text, at least in part, reprinted verbatim. All
have the appended "Traité des tulipes et de la
manière de les faire panacher" (p.143-152). It
is evident that this tract cannot have been by
Boyceau, who died before the publication of the
1st ed. of his book, in which this appendix is
not included. (Cf. letter of V. Scholderer, already 
cited).

This "pocket" ed. by De Sercy is probably an
entirely different book from the folio Boyceau
published by him in the same year. The changes
in title and size, the absence of illustrations
and introduction of new material, all rouse the
suspicion that this was one of Sercy’s spurious
ventures, launched under the prestige of a well-
known name. (MFW)
