The first two part are devoted to the kitchen garden, the first part is illustrated with 20 splendid full-page engraved plates with hand-colouring, 12 are apples, 8 of pears, all showing several varieties, each labelled with its time of ripening, many for species now lost. The second has 19 engraved plates with contemporary hand-colouring showing peaches, plums, cherries, berries, etc. Part three is devoted to the cultivation of the garden and was issued un-illustrated.
