Instruction pour les jardins fruitiers et potagers : avec un traité des orangers, suivy de quelques réflexions sur l'agriculture
A 1690 Paris gardening manual by Jean de La Quintinie, the royal gardener at Versailles, on fruit and kitchen gardens, with a treatise on orange trees, published by Claude Barbin for gardeners and landowners. Its plates show formal parterre and orchard layouts drawn as plans, with geometric beds, paths, and a central fountain or basin, plus a decorative woodcut ornament of fruit and foliage that a designer could adapt for garden-themed patterns, borders, or diagrammatic layouts.
