Description: Haarlem, C.H. Bohn, 1760. [10],117 pp. With copper-engr. frontispiece of a hyacinth. Late 19th century boards with handwritten title. 8vo. - Signed by the author in ink; some age-toning affecting the title-page; covers slightly spotted; margins cut short (not affecting the text, however affecting the image, reducing it by 20 %); an extra replica of the complete frontispiece has been added as an extra; this skillfully produced replica has been printed on 18th century paper and includes a platemark (thus difficult to discern it from the original).* Interesting and rare treatise on the cultivation of bulb flowers, signed by the author. It describes the cultivation of hyacinths, the tulip, the Persian buttercup and the anemone as well as other flowers. cf. Cat. Lindley Libr., p. 231; Krelage, p. 17 etc.; BMC NH, p. 956.
