Hortus Floridus, a work by seventeenth-century engraver Crispin van de Pass, is generally regarded to be a masterpiece. Filled with more than 100 beautiful, full-page plates of floral favorites, the book has long been a source of delight for horticulturists. Dover's excellent reproduction in one volume of the two-volume facsimile edition published in the early twentieth century will equally captivate enthusiastic gardeners. Book One contains a 'very lively and true Description of the Flowers of the Springe,' among them narcissus, hyacinths, crown imperials, tulips, auriculas, and daffodils. Book Two describes flowers of summer, autumn and winter--peonies, carnations, pinks, roses, dianthus, sweet william, mallows, lilies, gladiolas, clematis, and more. For each volume, noted botanist Eleanour Sinclair Rohde has written an engaging and informative preface to the text--rendered in charming calligraphic style--that describes the leaves, flower, seed pods, and root of each blossom.
