Description
NOISETTE, Louis. *The Fruit Garden: Containing the History, Description, Cultivation and Uses of Fruit Trees, Strawberry Plants, and the Best Varieties of Vines Found in Europe*... An important treatise by one of the great French horticulturists of the 19th century; the first two volumes contain 10 beautiful engraved plates. Paris, Audot, 1821. 2 volumes in 1 large quarto volume, bound in pine-green marbled paper, smooth spine with an orange leather title label. 95 pp. and 10 engraved plates, including one fold-out. The cardboard binding is scuffed, with tears at the joints and a tear at the bottom; the printed pages show foxing. First edition, compiled by L.-A. Gautier from the notes of Louis Noisette. This volume brings together the first volume, complete with all 10 plates, and the second volume, without the final volume. Louis Noisette (1772–1849), a French horticulturist and nurseryman, was one of the leading specialists in pomology in the early 19th century. His experience in the cultivation and selection of fruit trees culminated in this comprehensive treatise devoted to fruit species and varieties, as well as to techniques for cultivation, grafting and tree management. A fine copy, with clean plates.
