Erneurter und vermehrter Baum- und Obstgarten, nemlich, eine kurtze, jedoch deutliche Anweisung zur Baumgärtnerey und Peltzkunst, vermittelst welcher fruchtbringende Baumgärten angerichtet und bäulich erhalten werden können ...
A 1664 German orchard and tree-gardening manual by Wolfgang Jacob Dümler, published in Nuremberg by the Endter heirs, offering practical instruction in grafting and cultivating fruit trees for gardeners and orchard owners. Its pages are numbered and framed with engraved plates in which rows of trees and shrubs, each drawn with its own outline and leaf pattern, are set on plain ground lines. A designer could take from these plates a clear vocabulary of botanical specimens, with varied canopy shapes, leaf silhouettes and trunk forms arranged in orderly grids.
