NOUVEAU TRAITE DE LA CULTURE DES MELONS (cont*) 
The work was translated into German and into 
Dutch, probably from the treatise that appeared 
with La Quintinie in l697 rather than that with 
Dahuron, l692 (or maybe l690?)« No doubt there 
are various editions of each, but the following 
will suffice for illustration* 
- [Geraaan] Neuer tractat von dem melonen-bau* 
(in Neue garten-lust Heinrich Hessens Garten-lust an- 
derer theil aus der franzoslschen sprache in die hochteut- 
sche ubersetzt* Leipzig, J* L* Gleditsch, 1705a 
317). (Dept. Agr*, &c*) 
This was Issued In part 2 of Hesse, Heinrich, 
"Neue gartenlust" (Leipzig, 1703)* has noth¬ 
ing to do with Hesse* The principal‘featurfetof 
Their 2s is the "Neue unterweisung zu dem blu- 
menbau", a German translation of the "Nouvelle 
instruction pour la culture des fleurs", which 
first appeared in the Amsterdam, 1697* edition 
of La Quintinie* Apparently the tract on melon 
culture was included in all later Issues of the 
"Neue unterweisung", 1712, 1734* and 1737* 
[Dutch] Verhandeling over de aankweeking der me- 
loenen* (In Oosten, Hendryck van* De naauwkeurige bloe- 
mist, of De nleuwe nederlandsche bloemhof* 7* verm* druk* 
Amsterdam, W* Brave, Junior [1792?] p*269-285) (Dept* 
Agr*, &c*) 
This seems to be based on the work as Issued 
with La Quintinie, 1697* but possibly augmented 
from some other source* These instructions are 
not found in the original edition of Van Oosten, 
1700, nor in the first English (I703) or first 
French (I714) translations of his book* So far 
as can be learned at present, they first appear 
in the edition of Leyden, 1728, with title "De 
naauwkeurige bloemist" etc*
