SC - medieval garden herbs/flowers

[Tollhase1 at aol.com]

As it is garden planting season, I have again pulled down my ratty and dusty 
Shakespeare garden book.  I would love to plant a small period garden.  
Probably more of an herbal/veggie type than floral.  Although, I would love 
to find period roses.  The book I am using gives lots of information, 
including Latin names, but it does not always differ between the 16th and 
17th century.  At times, it quotes a play, so therefore I can approximate the 
date.  I also know from other Shakespeare Research, that many of his 
reference are folklore dating back a long time.  So I am looking for books 
which can help.  Of course sources for period herbs are helpful, but also 
locating varieties which are not common now.

As some of these items tend to be more floral Vs cooking, is there another 
list I should be consulting as well.

Thanks Lord Frederich Holstein der Tollhase
