Vilmorln-Andrieux et C^® (oont.) 
This must be the catalogue described by E. A* 
Bunyard, in Gard. Chron. (3) 71:78 (Feb.13,1922), 
as having 150 p. Pritzel, 2d ed., no.179, also 
Am. Arb. Cat. 2:iv, and Cat. Bib. Banks, 3:108, 
give collation for this as 64 plus 64 pages, to 
which Am. Arb. adds 4 p. in brackets, bringing 
the total up to 132 p. Cat. Linn. Soc. London 
enters separately a ^Catalogue des plantes” and 
"Catalogue des meilleures sortes d'arb^s frtai- 
tiers," both dated 1771. The latter corresponds 
with one of the works of Antoine Nicolas Duchesne 
mentioned in a biography by A. F, Silvestre, in 
M4m. Soc. Roy. & Cent. Agr. France, 1827, [v.60], 
p.cxxxvi, as follcwrs: "II publia, en 1771, une 
Notice raisonn4 des graines qui se vendalent dans 
les magasins de M. Vilmorin Andrieux, et r^digea 
un Catalogue des meilleures esp^ces d’arbres frui- 
tiers qui faisaient partie des p6pinidres de cet 
habille cultivateur." This 1771 catalogue appar¬ 
ently consists of two parts, each probably with an 
individual title-page. Mr. Bunyard describes it 
as containing not only fruits, but also bulbs and 
flowers, and instructions for growing grasses and 
clovers. He also observes: "It is said that this 
little work was compiled by Duchesne, and it is 
very possible; it is stated that the strawberry 
seed offered was of his saving."
