CATALOGUES DES PERES CHARTREUX 
”Tlie Carthusians, who cultivated a large nurs¬ 
ery of fruit trees in the park of the Luxembourg 
at Paris, renowned in the 18th century, published 
between 1722 and 1789 a half-score of catalogues 
that are now very rare.” - Gibault, Journ. Soc. 
Nat. Hort. France, 1905, p,739. 
The following entries have been fo\ind; 
Catalogue des plus excellents fioiits, les plus rares et 
les plus estimes, qui se cultivent dans les pepiniferes des 
r^v^rends p6res Chartreux de Paris. Avec leurs descriptions 
et les terns le plus ordinaire de leur maturity. Paris, Typ. 
Coignard, 1728. (Pritzel, Ist.ed., no.11617) 
Pritzel, l.c., gives collation of 4 p., but in¬ 
asmuch as the next recorded edition, only 8 years 
later, has 40 p., it seems rather doubtful whether 
4 p. would have been sufficient for all the infor¬ 
mation indicated by the title. (MFW)
