Schmidt, Carl Friedrich (cent*) 
Kayser, l.c*, regards Karl Friedrich Schmidt 
as a pseudonym of Johann Andreas Christian Lohr, 
who published many horticultural works under the 
name of J. C. F. Rliller, Kayser uses the phrase 
"llit J. C. F. Miller•» in the title of the 6th ed. 
of the "Vollstandiger ... gartenunterricht”, and 
this may have given rise to the attribution; but 
the phrase may mean merely that this ed. was re¬ 
vised by Miller, or ^pended to some of his pub¬ 
lications. Kayser, moreover, does not refer to 
Schmidt from either Miller or Lbhr. Y/hile it is 
not unlikely that Lohr wrote under the name of 
Schmidt, the fact is not shown by other authori¬ 
ties. Treating Schmidt thus as a veritable auth¬ 
or seems wiser than entering this work under Lbhr.

- Cer wohlerfahrene baum- und kuchengartner. 2. aufl. 
Leipzig, 1802. 246 p, (Bradley Bib. 3:103) 
This edition is noted by Kayser, Biicher-lexikon, 
5:117-118, and Dochnahl, Bib. Hort., p.l42, but the 
latter uses a later form of the title, while the en¬ 
try in Bradley Bib. seems to have been made from a 
copy actually seen by the compiler, and therefore 
is probably correct. It is important, both because 
it shows that the change of title occurred in this 
edition, and because the paging is the same as that 
of the 1st ed., suggesting that this may have been 
merely a reissue with a new title-page. (MFW)

- Der wohlerfahrene baurar-, kuchen- und blumengSrtner, 
Oder Vollstandige und deutliche anweisung, alle geschafte in 
dem garten zu besorgen. 4. verb, und verm. aufl. Leipzig, 
1805. (Beckmann, Phys.-Oekon. Bib. 23:361-362) 
Beckmann’s notice says the 1st ed. was reviewed 
in the seme journal, v.20, p.248, but the title 
has now been changed euid many improvements intro¬ 
duced. He mentions specially a gardener’s calendar 
not found in the original edition. This 4th ed. 
is also recorded in MLltitz, Bib. Bot., col.248, 
after Beckmann, and in Dochnahl, l.c. 
Above title from Beckmann is probably slightly 
abbreviated, but shows a likeness to both the 1st 
and 2d eds. The addition of the ”blumengartner” 
suggests that this may have been the first issue 
covering the topic of floriculture. If this had 
been borrowed from some other author, it might ac¬ 
count for the attribution of this work to J. A. C. 
Lohr. (MFW)
