The first work on agriculture written in French. As an apothecary, Belon was especially interested in the pharmaceutical value of plants. Having learned about them on his travels, he introduced numerous foreign plants into France, including the tree of Judea, cork oak, pistachio, cedar, jujube, and green oak, eastern juniper, and myrtle. Except for a portrait of Belon, this relatively brief work is unillustrated.
