  abstract: Niall Kenny description: Previous editions in 1577 and 1578. At least one variant title page, with publisher as John Wighte (C and Newcastle, and possibly G), and another variant with title page as above but the text leaves seeming to be remainders from the 1st edition of 1577; Michigan on-line catalogue dates their copy as 1585 but suspect an error, however the publisher is given as John Wright, so possibly yet another issue? Alhough ESTC lists Yale as having a copy none on their own online catalogue; both HL copies imperfect. No blank leaf (**)4 in NLS copy but otherwise identical to this copy.

Conradus Heresbachius, councellor to the high and mightie prince, the Duke of Cleue: ; containing the whole art and trade of husbandrie, gardening, grafting, and planting, with the antiquitie and commendation thereof. ; Newly Englished and increased by Barnabe Googe, esquire.
