WILLIAM LAWSON published in 1597, A New Orchard and Garden, in 4to.
Other editions, in 4to., in 1623, and 1626. His singular assertions are
treated with great candor by the author of _Herefordshire
Orchards_,--"for I thought I found many signs of honesty and integrity
in the man, a sound, clear, natural wit."

SIMON HARWARD published in 1597, a Treatise on the Art of propagating
Vegetables; and annexed it to Lawson's New Orchard and Garden,

THOMAS JOHNSON, the learned editor of the enlarged and valuable edition
of Gerarde. Wood calls him "the best herbalist of his time." Mr.
Weston, in his Catalogue, relates with great pleasure, the sanguine and
interesting tours which Mr. Johnson, and some friends, made in various
counties, to examine the native botanical beauties of his own country.

Wood further informs us, that at the siege of Basinghouse, "he
received a shot in the shoulder, of which he died in a fortnight after;
at which time his work did justly challenge funeral tears; being then no
less eminent in the garrison for his valour and conduct as a soldier,
than famous through the kingdom for his excellency as an herbalist and
physician." I have given in a note below, his approbation of Parkinson's
work, merely to shew Mr. Johnson's liberal mind.[30]

RALPH AUSTEN, published his Treatise of Fruit Trees, shewing the manner
of Grafting, Planting, &c. with the spiritual use of an Orchard, or
Garden, in divers similitudes. _Oxford_, 1653 and 1657, 4to. He appears
to have lived and died at Oxford. He dedicates it to his friend S.
Hartlib, Esq. Worlidge says, that in this treatise Austen hath "very
copiously set forth the high applauses, dignities, advantages, and
variety of pleasures and contents, in the planting and enjoyment of
fruit trees."

Natural History, so far as concerns Fruit trees, 4to. Another edition,
