Schmidt, Carl Friedrich 
Der ehrliche baum- und kiichengartner, oder Vollstandige 
und deutliche anweisung, alle geschafte im baum- und kiichen- 
garten auf eine zweckmssige und vortheilhafte weise zu be- 
sorgen, als baume zu erziehen, zu veredeln und von krankhei- 
ten zu heilen, gutes und schones geiridse zu erzielen, des saa> 
men zu gewinnen, das gartenland zu bearbeiten und zu verbes- 
sern ... Nebst einem anhange, wie man aus obst ein sehr gu- 
ten wein, und selbst aus faulem obst einen sehr guten essig, 
auch aus mbhren einen sussen syrup verfertigen soil. Leip¬ 
zig, Bei Gerhard Fleischer dem jungern, 1798. 246 p.

Title from review in Becker, Taschenbuch fur 
garten-freunde, 1799, p.382-384. Author’s name 
is given in full in‘an apparently accurate tran¬ 
script of the title-page, but the review gives 
no hint of his identity. The same title occurs 
in slightly abbreviated form, buy definitely giv¬ 
ing the adjective "Ehrliche” and t]^e full name 
of the author, in Allg. Lit. Ztg., Intbl, Mar, 
28, 1798, p.445; and in Beckmann, Phys.-Oekon. 
Bib, 20:248 (1799). The latter, indeed, adds to 
the title, but appears to give it less exactly 
than Becker. 
This is the first edition of Schmidt’s "Voll- 
standiger und grundlicher gartenunterricht", the 
2d ed. of which is entitled: "Der wohlerfahrene 
baum- und kiichengartner", a title which was prob¬ 
ably used thru the 5th ed., 1808, and which is 
given by Kayser, Biicher-lexikon, 5:117, as that 
of the 1st ed, Dochnahl, Bib, Hort., p.l42, en¬ 
ters the work under "Vollstandiger ... gartenun¬ 
terricht", giving the other in curves, as if it 
were an alternative. Bradley Bib. 3:103, seems 
to have borrowed most of its entry for this work 
from Dochnahl, and with exception of the 2d ed,, 
1802, all those noted are daggered, indicating 
that they had not been seen by the compilers of 
the Bradley Bib. It seems as if none of the bib¬ 
liographers had been aware of all the changes in 
the title of this book.
