Excerpt from Shakespeare's Garden
The second part of the work contains an Appendix, in which every mention of plants and their direct products occurring in the poet's plays and poems is arranged as it occurs, thus giving at a glance the number of plants and mode of allusion in each play, and also avoiding repetition. But the more beautiful passages are also quoted in the body of the work, and discussed by aid of various extracts from Elizabethan herbalists nor is their current folk-lore, legends, or botany neglected.

Excerpt from Shakespeare's Garden
More than one author has written a treatise on Shakespeare's flowers, and more than one has achieved success. The small books with coloured illustrations, of which there are many more or less artistic, cannot be counted in this category. They are not meant to be aids to serious study. The first to attempt a volume of the latter kind was Sidney Beisley, who wrote "Shakespeare's Garden" in 1864. He was followed by a series of essays in the "Garden" by the Rev. Henry Ellacombe in 1876, and these were republished in book form in 1878 by Pollard, of Exeter, and reprinted in 1884 (Satshell and Co., London), and again in 1896 (Arnold, London), while in 1883 George H. Grindon's "Shakespeare Flora" appeared (Palmer and Howe, Manchester).
The present volume is cast in the form of a calendar, and, month by month, the trees, shrubs, and flowers coming to perfection at that particular time of the year are duly treated. As a rule, the time of flowering is considered the time of perfection also; but certain exceptions are made in favour of well-known fruits, whether British or foreign.
