(With his: New improvements of planting and gardening.
London, 1717-18) (Mass. Hort. Soc.)

In the same year, 1726, the Appendix was
also issued in the "New improvements", 5th ed.,
p.541-608, which was issued with same paging 
and probably unchanged through the 7th ed.,
1739. I have not discovered any issue of the
Appendix prior to 1726, and it looks as though
the publisher, William Mears, had got it out
with independent paging solely to fill out his
remainders of earlier eds. of the "New improvements", 
as was apparently the object of the 3d
pt. of this work dated 1724, and the independently 
paged 5th ed. of the "Kalendar" which
is dated 1728. (MFW)
