The December 8, 2018 customer review includes a list of the 49 plants.

And I already had two different books called "Shakespeare's Flowers," plus Walter Crane's beautifully illustrated "Flowers from Shakespeare's Garden."

(I once had a boxful of the following Christmas card, taken from that book):

But this one includes non-flowering plants. Plus, it reveals what the two different potions VERY likely were in "Romeo and Juliet"!

It does not, however, say anything about the LAST scene of "Hamlet."

I once asked a chemistry major about that, and he said that cyanide was certainly available in Shakespeare's time. Surprise!

Bridge ahead. Pay troll.
