pressed, a fountain, junipers, and 
small flower beds forming a part 
of the design. All woodwork in 
the parterre and trellised garden 
will be painted green and white. 
The topiarian garden will be 
devoted principally to box trees 
trimmed into various shapes, an 
arbor of trellis work, covered with 
vines, terminating the main axis 
of the three gardens. The motif 
for the arbor was taken from the 
plans of the old Wilton House 
gardens, designed by Isaac de 
Caux. Within this garden will 
be shown the greater number of 
the collection of plants men- 
tioned by Shakespeare in his 
works. It should be borne in 
mind that, while it is possible to identify most of these, some 
are doubtfully referred to existing species, and in a few cases 
the name used by Shakespeare may have been misleading. 
However, the list as given is the result of a careful compila- 
tion of all the information obtainable from various author- 
ities, and is believed to be as accurate as anything of the kind 
that could be prepared. g 
A list of the trees, shrubs, vines, and flowers used in the 
three gardens, is as follows:
