LE JARDINIER FIDELE (cont*) 
There Is no connection between this work and 
"Le fldble jardlnler" of Pierre Betln, a collec¬ 
tion of plates that was reissued several times 
between I 630 and 1650 * (MFW-Mar*13*1935) 
Trait^ de la manlbre de semer dans toutes les 
salsons de I'anntfe toutes sortes de graines & plantes, tant 
potageres que fleurs 8t oignons de fleurs* Paris, Charles 
de Sercy, 1639* (Wageningen, K. Landb. Hoogsch* Bib*) 
See Wageningen, Bui* Cat* IV (1930), no* 11, 
item 22773 * Title and imprint from Seguier, p* 
406 ; work also listed by Lelon^* l*c*, 1:198* 
and Miltitz, l*c*, col*293* Boehmer, l*c*, as 
already stated, gives the earlier title: "Jardi- 
nier fidble", with date 1689* possibly having 
identified the two works* 
As quoted by Seguier* the title includes the 
"Id#e ou description d’une maison de campagne"; 
but latter is probably an independently paged 
tract as in the following* which is identical 
in title and probably in all other respects* 
Paris, C* Prudhomme, I 7 IO* 54* 39 P* (Dept* 
Agr*i Brit* Mus*) 
Appended: "Id^e ou description d*une maison 
do campagne", 39 p* 
Dept* Agr* has also another copy of this ed* 
bound with Rosny, "Le parfait oeconome" (17lo)* 
Le Jardinier fleuriste. 1703 et seq* See Liger, Louis* 
"Le Jardinier fleuriste" 
The citation of this title with the imprint 
"Paris, I 66 I", in Haller* Bib* Bot* 1:512, may 
be duo to either an error in date or confusion 
with a work of different title published I 66 I* 
Seguier, Bib. Bot., p*377* gives as an imprint 
for the "Jardinier fleuriste" of Louis Liger, 
"Amsterdam, I 70 O"* which is also probably an 
error, since the earliest authentic ed* was 
published in Paris, 1703« (MFW)
