Bradley, Richard (cont.)

The gentleman and gardeners kalendar, directing what
is necessary to be done every month, in the kitchen-
garden, fruit-garden, nursery, management of forest-
trees, green-house and flower-garden. With directions
for the making and ordering hop-grounds. To which is
added, The design of a green-house (finely engrav'd)
after a new manner, contriv’d purposely for the good
keeping of exotick plants, by Seignior Galilei of
Florence. London, Printed for W. Mears, 1718.
116 p. (Dept. Agr.; Boston Pub, Lib.; N. Y. Bot.
Gard.; Brit. Mus.; Arn. Arb.; Bib. Nat. Paris)

-----  3d ed. London, W. Mears, 1720. 124 p.
(Brit. Mus.; Arn. Arb.)

According to Martyn in Miller's "Gardener's 
and botanist's dictionary" (1807) l:xxvi,
this was issued with pt. 3 Bradley's "New
improvements", 3d ed., 1719-20. Pritzel, 1st
ed., no.1218, as also the Brit. Mus. Cat.,
calls it the 3d ed. of the "Kalendar".

-----  4th ed. London, W. Mears, 1724. 104 p.
(With his: New improvements of planting and gardening. 
4th ed. London, 1724) (Dept. Agr.; N. Y. Bot. Gard.;
Arn. Arb.; Bib. Nat. Paris)

-----  5th ed. London, W. Mears, 1728. 104 p.
(Mass. Hort. Soc.)

This is bound with the Mass. Hort. Soc.
copy of the &quot;New improvements&quot;, 1st ed., 1717-
18, and can only be accounted for, like the
stray 3d pt. of the latter work issued in
1724, by the desire of the publisher, Mears,
to fill out partial sets of the earlier editions 
so as to completely dispose of his old
stock. After the 4th ed., in 1724. Bradley's
"Kalendar" was regularly included in the "New
improvements", but paged consecutively, and
without a special title-page. It is so included 
in the to 5th to 7th eds., 1726, 1731,
1739, all of which are apparently identical
in paging and contents. (MFW)
