L2 JARBINAGS D23 OEILLETE 
L« Jardinstge des ooillets. Paris, Imprint chez Louis 
Bouiangor, 1647* 249 p. (Brit. Umb.; Bib. Nat. j^arls) 
Definite infonaution on this work is given by 
^lird^ne, "Treiit^ des oeillets" (1762), p.xxxix>xl. 
Ue gives the pagingf and says the author’s name 
dcec not appear in the book, but the dedicatory 
epistle ic signed with the initials "L. B-** Fur¬ 
thermore Ardbns says, l.c., p.xlvii, the treat¬ 
ise on this subject in I'orin, "Rcfflarques nocos- 
sttires pour la culture des flours", is nothing 
but a reprint of the above, minus its literary 
and moral allusions. 
Altho not found in Cat. Bib. Nat. it is cred¬ 
ited by Heguier, p.404# to "B. H.". that is, the 
Blbliothbque Uoyuie or present 3ib. Nat. Paris. 
The work is rare. A copy formerly owned by James 
Douglas 55r. was discusaod by R. v. Brothorston 
In (Vtrd. Chron. (3^ 39 .•?7 (Feb. 17,1906), but its 
present location is unknown. Brotherston gave 
enough of the contents to verify ^rdfene’s state¬ 
ment that the "Truitt des oeillets" in Morin’s 
"Remarques necessalros" is extracted from the 
earlier anoayiaouB work. 
Peguior, p.4c4i cat. Bib. Burette, 2:633, no. 
5339# Gibault, li!tude (1905). P*733» and probably 
also Lolong, Bib. Hist. 1;200^ give title: "Le 
Jurdinage des ocillots, pt^r L. B." But, as has 
been shown by Ardbne, these initials are signed 
to the epistle and are not in the title. Inas¬ 
much as they are the initials of the publisher, 
Louis Boulanger, who might naturally have writ¬ 
ten the dedication, one cannot assume that they 
are those of the actual author. Hevorthalesa, 
Bouiangor may have been the author as well as 
the publisher of the book.
