Footnotes

FIRST EDITIONS OF KNOOP'S EARLY FRUIT MONOGRAPHS. Knoop was head gardener to the Dowager Princess of Orange at Marienburg, near Leeuwarden. The first work describes apples and pears, whilst the second includes soft fruit such as quinces, peaches, plums, cherries and apricots. "Both books may be considered as the first monographs with colored plates of fruit and fruit trees" (Landwehr, p. 33), and the first became the most popular treatise on pomology in the eighteenth century. The third part is devoted to the cultivation of trees and shrubs, reflecting the influence of French gardening practice.
