—Venetia, per gli heredi di Giovanni Padoano, 
1556• (Brit* Mus*) 
Savastano gives publisher’s name as above, 
while Seguier, p.399, gives Latinized imprint, 
’’Venetiis, per her. Joan. Patavini, 1556.” 
..... Antonino Venuto d’agricoltura, nel quale si 
insegna il vero modo di coltivare i campi, gli orti, i 
giardini, le viti, gli arbori, & tutte le cose utile & 
necessarie, che s’appartengono a I'huomo in materia di 
villa (fregio). Nuovamente ridotto in buona lingua. 
Venezia, Appresso Francesco Rampazetto [n.d.] (Cat, 
Bib, Min, Agr, Italy, Sup,2 (1898), p,309) 
This edition is cited by Re, 4:181, without 
date; and Savastano, l.c., says its date can¬ 
not be definitely fixed; but it was published 
somewhere in the period between 1560 and 1570, 
—Palermo, Gian Francesco Carrara, 1579, (Cat, 
Bib, Com, Palermo (1855-57), p.883) 
Savastano, l.c,, says that a reprint of the 
preceding undated edition was published by Car¬ 
rara in 1579, while Cat, Bib, Palermo gives the 
date 1589, with the same publisher. Inasmuch as 
Savastano is generally accurate, it is likely 
that 1589 is a typographical error, 
Verdier, Jean (1735-1820) See Le Bon jardinier. Paris, 
1768-82, 
Robinet, in his sketch of Antoine Poiteau, 
in Mdm, Soc, Imp, & Cent, Agr, 1855(1):142-172 
(1857), includes a long history of Le Bon jar- 
dinier* On p,158 he says the names of ^e Grace 
and Verdier appear in the editions of 1768 and 
1778, and thereafter until 1782, On p,161 he 
mentions botanical articles in issues of 1776, 
1778 and 1780, which he credits to ”M, Verdier, 
instituteur et mddecin A Paris en 1778," thus 
identifying him with Jean Verdier (1735-1820), 
Biog. Univ, 48:168-170, calls him "avocat, m4- 
decin, instituteur," and mentions his "Intro¬ 
duction A la connaissance des plantes, A la 
tete de plusieurs Editions du Bon Jardinier,"
