Connoissance et culture parfaite des tulipes pares, des anemones 
extraordinaires, des oeillets fins, et des belles oreilles 
d’ours panach^es. Paris, Laurent d^Houiy, 1688. 141 p. 
(Brit. Ivins.; C. Harman Payne); Hort. Soc. New York) 
Haller, Bib. Bot. 1:644, gives date 1689, but 
this may be a misprint, or there may have been a 
reissue of the original ed. The title quoted by 
Haller is similar to that of the 1696 ed., inclu¬ 
ding the phrase, "des belles fleurs." 
The work has been attributed by Seguier, Bib. 
Bot., p.398, and other bibliographers, to N. Val- 
nay, but the late C. Harman Payne, who possessed 
both eds., in a letter to LIFW, Dec.21,1921, says 
there is nothing in the 1688 ed. to indicate Val- 
nay or anyone else as the author.

ends with a different line, and catch words are
