First and only edition of the French translation of two works on horticulture and botany by the English botanist Richard Bradley (1688-1732). This French translation, by Philippe-Florent de Puissieux (1713-1772), is based on "New improvements of planting and gardening both philosophical and practical" (London, 1717 and 1731) and "Gentleman and gardeners calendar" (London, 1718). The translation is adapted to the French context, particularly with regard to appropriate dates for sowing, cultivation, etc. A rare and good copy.
