Including engraved title-page. 5 works bound into 1. 4to. Boards. I. The first edition of the most influential horticultural manual from the period of the Netherlands supremacy in garden art and experimentation in plant sciences. Jan van Groen was royal gardener to the Prince of Orange, and his book, the first in this set, combines both garden design and architecture, and details of the cultivation of fruit and flowers; he covers, among other operations, grafting, the training of vines and nurturing of seeds under glass. The unusually striking illustrations give a vivid idea of the layout of contemporary gardens, and include the princely country seats of Ryswick, Honsholredyck and Huys ten Bosch; there are numerous designs for flowerbeds, several for pergolas and trellises (original contributions specially drawn for this work by Pieter Post (1608-69), the Dutch architect and painter), also sundials, cloches and Dutch greenhouses for nursery seedlings. The charming engraving of an orangery with world map on the wall (a reminder of the contemporary extent of the Dutch Empire) shows rows of small potted trees warmed by a wall-flued stove, and detailed illustrations of the stages of growth of lemon, orange and fig trees. Van der Groen s work continued to be published well into the 18th century; a French and a German translation appeared in the same year as the first edition (1669).nII-V. Pieter Nyland, author of the four following books, was a doctor and horticulturist; his works provide a complementary calendar of garden operations, a medical manual for household and farm use, advice on distilling and bee-keeping, and a book of cooking recipes with index of essential ingredients. The present copy of these five works generally found together differs from the Hunt copy (see below) in that Van der Groen s work is here placed at the beginning; it is normally placed second in the first edition, but is placed first in the second 1670 edition; very well preserved copies, tailend margin of final title leaf neatly restored, small wormhole running through inner margin of first work.
