DER WOHLBESTELLTE GARTENBAU 
This title, which may represent several distinct books, has been at¬ 
tributed to various authors, and often treated as anonymous. Its issues 
cover a period of at least sixty years or more, 
1702, The earliest in point of time was published at Wolffenbiittel 
in 1702, and is entered by Miltitz, Bib, Bot,, col,295, as "Hemlers Wohl- 
bestellter gartenbau,” a mere variation in spelling from "Henders Wohlbe- 
stellter gartenbau" of the same date, cited by Burchardt, Teutscher obst- 
gartner, 15:392 (after Zink, p,249), Burchardt moreover says this is by 
"Christ, Helwing," possibly a typographical error for Christoph Helwig, 
but no work of this title or nature has been credited to Helwig by other 
bibliographers. We cannot identify any writer by the name of Hemler or 
Render, nor do we find any book with this title actually issued in 1702, 
altho it is not impossible that there was an edition of Dahuron’s work 
in that year. See below, under 1705 and 1723, 
1703. The next in chronological order is one attributed to Le Gendre 
by Burchardt, Teutscher obstgartner, 15:385 (after Rohr, Haushaltungs-Bib. 
p,371), which is said to be published at Hannover and Wolffenbiittel, 1703, 
This is probably the German version of Le Gendre, "La maniere de cultiver 
les arbres fruitiers," with title "Pflantzung frucht-tragender baume," in 
Pieter van Aengelen^s "Verstandige garten-meister" (Hannover, 1703), It 
is apparently translated from a Dutch version by Jan Commelin; hence not 
only this portion but also the work of van Aengelen is sometimes attribu¬ 
ted to Commelin, As this book was many times reissued, it may account for 
several citations of the "Wohlbestellter gartenbau," However, there is no 
reason to suppose that Le Gendre’s work ever came out with this title, 
1705, Seguier, Bib, Bot,, p,407, and Miltitz, Bib, Bot,, col,295, 
give a "Wohlbestellter gartenbau, oder Grundliche anweisung," said to be 
by "A, D, J." or "A, D, I.," and published Leipzig, H, F, Hoffmann, 1705, 
This is almost certainly an earlier edition of the book of the same title 
by Rene Dahuron, published 1723, and has been entered under his name, al¬ 
tho it has not yet been completely identified as his work, 
1715, Another edition of the German version of Le Gendre came out 
in this year, but may not have been cited as "Wohlbestellter gartenbau,"
