Groen, Jan van der, gardener to the Prince of Orange.

Le jardinier hollandois, où sont décrites toutes sortes
de belles maisons de plaisance & de campagne; & comment on
les peut planter, semer, & embellir de plusieurs herbes,
fleurs, & arbres rares ... Der niederländische gärtner,
das ist, Eine beschreibung allerhand fürstlicher, herrenhöffen, und lust-gärten, und wie man dieselben mit vielen
trefflichen bäumen, blumen und kräutern kan bepflantzen,
besäen, und zierlich anrichten. Amsterdam, M. Doornick,
1669. 127 p. and unnumbered pages of plans, printed on
both sides. (Mass. Hart. Soc.; N. Y. Pub. Lib.; Brit.
Mus.)
French and German text. Has added engraved
title in Dutch: "Den nederlandtsen hovenier door
I. van der Groen", but it does not appear that
the Dutch text was published until the following 
year. Bouchard-Huzard (1870), p.971, gives
this as the first edition, and "Den Nederlandtsen 
hovenier" with date 1670. Bouchard-Huzard's
collation, 228 p., must be a counted paging.
This edition includes "Deux cens modelles ...
Zwey hundert garten-modellen", chiefly designs
of parterres, garden structures, and the like,
printed both sides; also "24 nouveaux & curieux
modelles à la françoise ... 24 neue garten-modellen 
... nach frantzösischer ahrt", entirely
consisting of full-page garden plans.
Some of the half-titles for various sections
of the book are dated 1670.
Most of the editions noted elsewhere are recorded 
in Bouchard-Huzard's bibliography, "Ouvrages 
... sur les constructions rurales et sur
la disposition des jardins" (1870), p.971-972.
