  This diary for 2001 is illustrated with drawings by botanical artist Pierre-Joseph-Francois Turpin (1775-1840). Among the illustrations are hand-coloured engravings of fruit and flowering fruit trees from Duhamel du Monceau's Traite des Arbres Fruitiers . A selection of Turpin's work illustrates each week of the diary, alternating full-page drawings of single flowers or fruits with composite plates of flower details. National holidays are listed for Britain, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA. Religious holidays and astronomical information is also included.
