Hortus Eystettensis was published in 1613 to document a garden created by the Prince-Bishop of EichstStt which contained all the shrubs and flowering plants known at the time; 367 plates illustrate more than 1,000 species. It was printed from copper engravings in a very large format, and a few of the copies (no more than 25) were printed on special paper and individually hand-colored by teams of illuminators. One of these priceless volumes is owned by the British Library; and Barker, former deputy keeper there, set out to find the extant colored copies, compare them, and establish the full history of this monumental book. The text is accompanied by 80 full-page reproductions which, even in this oversize volume (12x15"), are only half the size of the originals, and comparative details from the different copies.

Hortus Third The one essential authoritative reference work to the plants of North American horticulture * 1,312 pages * 23,979 entries with description for families, genera, and species * 10,326 cross-indexed synonyms * A large but uncounted number of entries for subspecies, varieties, forms, and cultivars * Notes on use, culture, and propagation * 187 general articles * 260 illustrations * 3,293 authors of botanical names cited * 1,105 glossary definitions of botanical terms * 10,408 common names More than two decades were spent in writing and producing Hortus Third. It is the outgrowth of a program of research in the systematics of cultivated plants, initiated in the late nineteenth century by Liberty Hyde Bailey and continuing today within the framework of his philosophy that knowledge in basic science should be made available to society as a whole. Hortus Third is for advanced horticulturists and others interested in cultivated plants, including horticultural and garden writers, gardeners, nurserymen, landscape architects, botanists, and professional scientists in universities, botanical gardens, extension services, and government.

From the kinds of trees standing at Great Dixter to the 20 deadliest flowers to the best small garden animals according to the Indiana Department of Agriculture—gardening is a pursuit with no end of information to sift through. Where does botany start but with the naming and grouping of all flora? List making is in the gardener’s blood, and this volume of random facts, data, and wisdom, will excite the Latin-spouting garden geek as much as the arrival of the new Heronswood catalog. Some of the entries will be wholly practical, like the 15 ornamental plants that deer will not eat, and others will be decidedly impractical, such as the flower that adorns the grave of famed English gardener Gertrude Jekyll (bergenia).

Neuware -'Es drängt sich alles zur Landschaft,' so Philipp Otto Runge 1802. Die Landschaftsgemälde des Leipziger Malers Markus Matthias Krüger folgen einer deutschen Romantiktradition ausgehend von Caspar David Friedrich, die sich bis hin zu Wolfgang Mattheuer verfolgen lässt. Im Spannungsverhältnis zwischen altmeisterlich-feinmalerischer Präzision und moderner Klarheit seiner Kompositionen begründet Krüger eine Neuinterpretation des Genres und seine Rolle als Erneuerer der zeitgenössischen Landschaftsmalerei. 200 pp. Deutsch

For his 2011 Serpentine Pavilion commission, Peter Zumthor provided visitors with a hortus conclusus--a "secret garden" whose contents were designed by Piet Oudolf, hidden within an enigmatic plain black structure. This volume records the pavilion, which received rave reviews, with photographs and a fully illustrated index of the plants used.

Widely regarded as a masterpiece, Hortus Floridus is perhaps the greatest of early horticultural works using copperplate engravings. Long a source of delight for horticulturists, the original seventeenth-century work was the creation of Crispin van de Pass, a member of a famous family of Dutch engravers. This meticulous reproduction in one volume of the two-volume facsimile edition published in the early twentieth century will enchant enthusiastic gardeners with its more than 100 beautiful, full-page plates of floral favorites. Book One contains a "very lively and true Description of the Flowers of the Springe," among them narcissus, hyacinths, crown imperials, tulips, auriculars, and daffodils. Book Two describes flowers of summer, autumn, and winter — peonies, carnations, pinks, roses, dianthus, sweet william, mallows, lilies, gladiola, clematis, and many others.Noted botanist Eleanour Sinclair Rohde has written an engaging and informative preface to the text — rendered in charming calligraphic style. Each flower appears on the right-hand page, while van de Pass's text — translated from the original Latin — appears on the left-hand side, and includes details about the meaning of the name, the parts of the flower, size and color of blossoms, and calendar month in which the flower blooms. Lovingly and painstakingly prepared, this book will also serve as a useful and accurate reference for today's botanists and gardeners, as well as appeal to antiquarians and lovers of fine art.

An anthology from the second year of Hortus, the privately published periodical founded by the gardening writer.
